#5

McSweeneys is a publishing house founded by Dave Eggers. This is their quarterly publication. This quarter was a collection of short stories of science fiction and horror stories edited and published by Bradbury and Hitchcock in the 1930's, 40's and 50's. There are also four contemporary authors featured. It's an amazing collection. All the stories in this 448 page collection are solid, but a few of the best include "Night Flight", "Sorry Wrong Number" and the final story in the book "Don't Look Behind You."  Just as Eggers writes in the introduction, please don't read this one until the end. Also read it at night. Alone.
