Haven't read the actual collection but this looks like an excellent line-up of late 1980s/early 1990s horror.
Read the Connie Willis story years and years ago; can't remember a thing about it but I know it got a lot of critical acclaim. Same with the Monteleone story.
There are some very interesting selections here, like the Charles L. Grant and F. Paul Wilson stories; I wouldn't call either 'masterpieces' but they're both very good little stories and deserving of their recognition here. Would make an excellent companion volume to Ellen Datlow's
Darkness: Two Decades of Modern Horror as an overview of horror fiction from the mid-80s through the early 2000s.
