A reasonable seeming sci-fi/fantasy collection as audiobook, but the quality of the stories was really hit or miss. Greg Bear's Blood Music short story was the only really excellent story; I'd skip this collection and read that story or the full-length novel version instead. Probably worth what I paid for it (heavily discounted), but very frustrating on audible -- the chapters of the audiobook are uniform length, rather than on a story boundary (9 stories, 8 chapters -- sigh).
