Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: There were one or two enjoyable stories in this anthology, but most of them were a waste of time. A few were actually offensive, with done-to-death or tasteless themes, senseless endings and improbable situations.

Summary: Save your hard-earned cash
Review: These stories were ho-hum, nothing new or innovative. A few insulted our intelligence in this household. Better you should read the Heinlein juveniles over again--they're not really for kids. Or go find something by Connie Willis; she has collections of stories that are worth your time.

Summary: PROM NIGHT--would my own prom night's misery been so cool!
Review: You think with theme anthos that it will be just another collection around the same tired cliche, and prom night, at least in mainstream "American" culture screams Carrie. Not so with Prom Night, a total surprise--reading it, I was jealous that I hadn't had such a wonderfully chaotic and sad experience as those led in PM--especially Lorelei Shannon's ironic and wildly humorous look at who's the real dog at the local high school in "Peggy Sue Got Slobbered," Fred Saberhagen's hauntingly sad "The Senior Prom" where sex is the only thing that keeps you safe from the rest of your life, and A.R. Morlan's mesmerizing changing colors of language in "That Dress", a short story shorter than any miniskirt and ten times as sexy.

The writing is topnotch; the viewpoints are horrifying,creative, always a surprise; I'll buy the next novel anyone in this collection puts out.
