Unfortunately the narration- where every character sounded dumpy and slow took too much away from the stories. A few were really great, especially Jonathan Maberry- as usual. But the final one by Laird Barron was too disjointed and bizarre and didn’t end it in a satisfying way. I’ve enjoyed Barron’s stuff in the past- especially the Imago Sequence, but this was too similar and not in a good way. Just odd threads that never seem to come together, especially when the rest of the authors really seemed to do a good job of contributing something unique, but still cohesive to the theme. Like he had a “look at me!” compulsion over adding to this…..and seriously, who picked the narrator…
