- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I picked up this book because there are several stories here by authors I've heard a lot about but have never read. Short stories are a good place to give a new author a try without trying to get through a whole novel. Although there was only one story that I really disliked, there were many that were just "okay".
I should mention that I'm not a big fan of the "gritty realistic" style of writing and could care less if I never read about another gangster or hitman so these stories were obviously not meant for me. The word sinister in the title should have warned me but I did want to sample some of the authors so I continued on to the end.
I don't think I picked up any new authors from this book but did enjoy ones that I already knew I liked.
So, if you like gritty (and fishing, must like fishing) you'll love this. The fishing was fine, some of the stories weren't my cuppa.
