I'll probably be in the minority on this one

1. I don't usually like short stories and this book is why
2. I only recognized 6 of the authors but like to try new ones but this not a good way to do that
3. stories? most were just dumb/stupid and left you hanging
4. couldn't get interested in some of them enough to even finish it

I don't recommend to anyone that doesn't like short stories or unfinished stories

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories - a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. There's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. Michael Koryta has put together an excellent collect of short stories. Each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst It featuring stories by prolific mystery writers such as Michael Connelly, Lisa Unger and Joe Hill. I don't really like short stories but did enjoy the ones in this collection. I found many of them entertaining and plan on reading regular length novels by some of these authors. If you are a fan of crime thrillers, then I feel you will enjoy this collection too.
