Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-09 00:00:00 John M Alo 100 very short tales of murder. While I like some more than others, the vast majority were at least entertaining. That's better than most anthologies right there.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-29 00:00:00 Jung Jin Hyuk Jung I whittled away at 100 Menacing Little Murder Stories at the rate of a story a night. (Quick guess how long I have been reading this book.) When you are dealing with an anthology of this size you have to look for the gold and tolerate the dross. The problem I had with this collection was there was very little of the former and quite a lot of the latter. Yes there are a lot of famous authors here but it seems like the main requirement for inclusion was brevity rather than quality. So sure there are stories from Harlan Ellison, for instance-but these stories appear to be early works before Ellison hit his stride. There were some bright spots-Joe Lansdale has several good entries in this volume, and there is a crown jewel of a story by William F Nolan that I can only compare to being abruptly pushed off a pier into an ice cold lake. These just wasn't enough good stuff to overcome the filler that made up the rest of the book.
