An Apple for the Creature

An Apple for the Creature - Faith Hunter, Ilona Andrews, Nancy Holder, Steve Hockensmith, Donald Harstad, Toni L.P. Kelner, Marjorie M. Liu, Amber Benson, Thomas E. Sniegoski, Charlaine Harris, Rhys Bowen, Mike Carey, Jonathan Maberry Playing Possum - Charlaine Harris. There wasn't much to this story.Spellcaster 2.0 - Jonathan Maberry. This story is tacky and riddled with stereotypes. It also repeats the tired old fallacy that atheism is just another religion.Academy Field Trip - Donald Harstad. A vampire task force that places vampires under surveillance instead of killing them.Sympathy for the Bones - Marjorie M. Liu. This was fairly predictable.Low School - Rhys Bowen. I didn't like High School but it seems a bit much to use it as a place of eternal torment. Callie Meet Happy - Amber Benson. The main character acted like one of the Hilton daughters.Magic Tests by Ilona Andrews - This story is excellent as always, Ilona and Andrew are great at writing stories from different perspectives.No specific comments, didn't particularly like:Iphigenia in Aulis - Mike Carey. Golden Delicious - Faith Hunter. An Introduction to Jewish Myth and Mysticism - Steve Hockensmith. VSI - Nancy Holder.The Bad Hour - Thomas E. Sniegoski. I don't like the idea of an angelic detective.Pirate Dave and the Captain's Ghost - Toni L. P. Kelner. I didn't like the other Pirate Dave story so I skipped this.
