Everything else was either just OK or&#8230; not. I almost think  it&#8217;s worth it for the look of the book alone and the few great stories. A  lot of potential, don&#8217;t get me wrong, just nothing to get excited  about. Anyway. I get the feeling that #4 or 5 of this series is going to  be fantastic, but until then you have to deal with the problem that  exists with most anthologies. It&#8217;s great at times and hardly worth  reading at others, you just have to figure out if you don&#8217;t mind taking  the bad with the good. Here&#8217;s a list of contributors, minus the ones I  already mentioned: Dan Longfellow, Sammy Harkham, and David Brook. <a href=\"mailto:sammysumo@hotmail.com\">E-mail them<\/a> to see what they  have out out just send $5 per issue to: P.O.
