Heard about this and was intrigued, but found none of these three stories particularly interesting or compelling. Worth a miss. ( )

I guess you could call this an anthology even though it only has 3 stories. That said, this is the first anthology that I really loved all the stories.

Boy In Darkness by Mervyn Peake - Read this one years ago. Here are my notes. Very bleak world, freaky like Dr. Moreau but better. Not as boring, better writing, full of horrific images.

Envoy Extraordinary by William Golding - Read this one in 2015. Often funny, sometimes extremely witty and also interesting.

Consider Her Ways by John Wyndham - Read this one in 2015. Other than being a little repetitious, this was great. The ending was especially satisfying but the philosophical debate was great. I wonder if Brian K. Vaughan got his inspiration for Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1: Unmanned from this story. ( )
