The stories that work are really very good, but the anthology overall is very uneven. While the theme is amusing - I don't think it was strong enough to wrap a full anthology around.

I especially liked Seanan McGuire's "#CONNOLLYHOUSE #WE SHOULDN'T BE HERE" which managed to give me chills with only a series of tweets. ( )
