Anthologies, no matter what the genre, run the risk of being a mixed bag.  Aberrations is one of the better collections I've read, where just about every story is solid, and a few are even exceptional.  Some of the stories in this particular anthology are disturbing, some are spooky, some are downright weird, but overall, they're creative and well written.  I thought the highlights were Money Well Earned, Bug House, Beggars at Dawn, and my personal favorite, From Hamilin and Harperville.  These four tales in particular are engrossing and feature clever twists that you may not see coming.  Each one stands out from the remaining six and cover a wide range of differing horror flavors.  As for the rest, they were all enjoyable in their own ways, with the exception of Goat Boy which I didn't like.If you're a fan of short stories, horror in particular, Aberrations is well worth your time and the price of admission.  While I was already familiar with a few of the writers that contributed, I discovered some that I'll have to check out later down the line.Fun and entertaining collection of the macabre, gory, and chilling
