Very mixed bag

Bit amateurish throughout. Poor audio quality. Narrators vary from bad through to fairly good throughout.

Interesting stories with a minus

The SF&F lives up to its normal high standards with this collection of short stories, but somehow the editor has decided to skip author and title of each story. This detracts from the overall impression. Other than that I feel this is a good read, as long as you're prepared for it to be read as one continouos story.
