For a much lauded compilation from some big names it's a bit disappointing. Just a bit lazy and run of the mill. I was never annoyed but equally non of it made me go "wow this is Interesting"

A bit disappointing

I only got to the start of the 3rd story. The content is about the abuse of children, especially girls and should not even be in publication in my oppinion. At the very least, this book should come with a graphic content warning and only adults should be able to buy it. I have no idea what the rest of the book is like, but two stories in a row about harrowing tales is not my cup of tea. I feel disappointed that some amazing authors have contributed to this.

Should come with an graphic warning for 18+ only!

I'm no prude but this work includes extremely graphic descriptions of necrophilia, it should carry a warning and definitely should not be available to under 18s.

Warning, graphic descriptions of necrophilia
