The ones marked with an asterisk are my favorites, mainly because of they have a touch of dark humor, but all of the stories are very entertaining. Connor has always provided a wide variety within his anthologies, which is why he remains one of my favorite science fiction authors.
I highly recommend this collection, especially if you are a fan of Ray Bradbury.
As always,
