Good short stories
Some stories are better than other, but overall this is a good collection.
It's a nice way to discover new authors and I'll look some up

Give This A Miss
Honestly, this could have been far better if entirely narrated by the female narrator. The male narrator (Matt), had absolutely NO depth of emotion in him. He made every tale he told sound as if it were taking place in the ‘40s or’50s!
Therefore the stories that he narrated were uninteresting on the whole.
Conversely, the few that were read by the female narrator (Emily) were very interesting, with a couple of exceptions (very dull tales), which made you wonder if these REALLY WERE the best for 2021?
I’m very glad that this compilation was included in the Plus Catalogue, because I’d feel really aggrieved if I had paid for it. Perhaps it’s a better book, but I’d hardly think so..
