First of all, if George really did do the editing, her copyeditor slept through any fixes she made. The layout of this book was atrocious: paragraphs were generally indented, but frequently they weren't, there were punctuation errors....grrr.
ANYWAY. The stories themselves were good. Really good. A wonderful introduction to some authors I've never heard of, along with some "old friends." Of the latter, there were a couple of stories I had read elsewhere, which just goes to show that I'm a short crime story junkie, I guess. I'll have to see if I can find some other things by Susan Glaspell, Nedra Tyre, Christianna Brand, Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Gillian Linscott.
My favorites: Lia Matera's story ("The River Mouth"), Nedra Tyre's ("A Nice Place to Stay") and the one by Susan Glaspell ("A Jury of Her Peers").
