After Death starts off with a cool premise, what happens after a person dies. Sometimes the stories occur immediately after death, sometimes it’s during a much longer time line. There is a mix of big name horror authors and lesser known ones, and overall a really good flow to the anthology. One of t...
How does the pacing of the story feel? When we first received the book, some of us at the book club were expecting for the some of the stories to be slow or uninteresting. We were wrong.

Anthologies are hard to review. Period. I got this one for the Kelley Armstrong short and it did not disappoint. Easily the best in the book. The shorts in this ranged from excellent, to "interesting," to umm....okay, to huh?, and "this is dumb, I'm not reading this one."
I only read four of the short stories. I really liked the Harry Dresden story and the Kelley Armstrong one with Nick, Noah, and Reese.(5 stars for both)
Only read the Butcher story, wasn't interested in the rest of the stories. Butcher's Dresden Files story was good.
