One of the Best Paranormal Anthologies for All Agesby EmTeeS

October 25, 2009: I am an adult who picked up this book without realizing it was technically YA, so I am amazed to say it was probably the best anthology I've ever read (and I've read a lot of them.) Anyone who things YA fantasy is all pretty-boy vampires and mopey heroines will think twice after reading this collection; only one story, Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie's "Passing", even qualifies as romance by most people's standards, and even that features more fighting monsters than lingering gazes. There are some very dark stories here-- Cecil Castellucci's "Wet Teeth" is more horror than urban fantasy, while Holly Black's "The Coldest Girl in Coldtown" is one of the creepiest, loneliest, most disturbing things I've read recently (that's a compliment), and Cassandra Clare's "Other Boys", Lili St. Crow's "Ambition" and Libba Bray's "The Thirteenth Step" all deserve mention for their bleak (though oddly similar) final twists. On the other end of the spectrum, after four re-reads I'm still giggling my way through Sarah Rees Brennan's hilarious "Undead is Very Hot Right Now." The collection is not perfect. Only two authors, Kelley Armstrong and Rachel Caine, choose to set their entries in the familiar settings of their full-length novels, and both rely a bit too heavily on the reader's prior knowledge of their characters and worlds. Others, in particular Karen Mahoney, Maria V. Snyder, and especially Dina James, seem to have written introductions to novels rather than true short stories. But overall, if you are a teen or an adult looking for some truly great vampire stories with a huge range of takes on the genre, I cannot recommend this book more.
