I got this on audiobook, and I only stopped reading it before I finished it because I kept feeling compelled to turn it off every time the children walked into the room where I was listening to it. And then it was due back at the library and I could no longer renew it and, well, I'll probably check it out again. Some of the stories were hits and some were misses, but I enjoyed them all quite a like. Walter Mosley's "Juvenal Nyx" was a very satisfying vampire story, and one that I had to turn off multiple times when my little pitchers came on the scene. Lawrence Block's "Catch and Release" was disturbing, and I kind of wish it had ended a lot earlier and left more to the imagination. I loved Neil Gaiman's "The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains," which was haunting and tightly crafted. 
 I made it to about the halfway point in the book and I really liked it, but if I keep getting it on audiobook, it might take me a very long time to finish it. Headphones might help. Or perhaps I should stay up late listening to these stories while I crochet baby clothes for friends. I love incongruous entertainment while I craft tiny sweaters and bootees.
