I search for stuff that I will enjoy but will pull me out of my comfort zone--I think this may be the first anthology that I actually finished. Even the stories I would have rated a one-star read didn't stop me from going on to the next one. Bizarre fiction, but better done than any I've read before! There are a couple I'll be re-reading for sure.

**This was a random find at a small town used book store in Texas.**
This anthology started out very strong with the first few stories and then it started to drag on in the middle, but it picked up again towards the end. Like most short story collections, it wasn't perfect but I still really liked this book. Ursula K. Le Guin's contribution "The Matter Of Seggri" was my absolute favorite.
