Story
It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

But when an opportunity to pull a job for their boss arises, it’s make-or-break time.

LIMBUS, INC. is a shadowy employment agency that operates at the edge of the normal world. LIMBUS's employees are just as suspicious and ephemeral as the motives of the company, if indeed it could be called a company in the ordinary sense of the word. In this shared-world anthology, five heavy hitters from the dark worlds of horror, fantasy, and sci-fi pool their warped takes on the shadow organization that offers employment of the most unusual kind to those on the fringes of society.

When her fiance Vince goes missing, Angela Gough, an American criminology student, discovers he was a part of this secretive trade. It's a big-money business-shadowy, brutal, and sometimes fatal. As the trail leads her deeper into London's dark side, she crosses paths with a crime lord whose life is dedicated to collecting such relics.

Publisher's summary
The year is 1981. Eighteen-year-old Jonas Quartermain falls in love with archeology thanks to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Three years into his four-year degree, he is given the opportunity of a lifetime: work as a real archeologist on a dig in Egypt. He travels out of Ohio for the first time in his life and is shocked by the cultural differences in Cairo. He begins work and is quickly bored out of his mind.
Lucky, or perhaps unlucky for him, old bones and ancient jewelry are not the only things waiting for him in the African nights. An ancient mind awakens and begins haunting his dreams and his waking life. An enchanting woman at a club in Egypt tries desperately to drink his blood. At home in Akron, Ohio, he fights for his life against an old school bully seemingly driven mad by drugs. Jonas sets out to find answers; to understand how and why everything seems connected to his archeological dig in Egypt.

Story
There’s an underground magical vault, protected by sorcery, security cameras, guards, and whatnot. Think of the most impenetrable place in the world. Now triple it. It belongs to a dragon, and I was hired to break into it and steal his hoard. I might be an alchemist extraordinaire and the best burglar on the East Coast, but this is not a solo job. I’ll need a team for this one. Accompanied by a powerful sorcerer, a fortune teller, a scam artist, and a hacker, I embark on the heist of the century. If we succeed, we’ll be legends. If not - crispy dragon snacks.

Story
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Story
Ricky Desmond has been through this all before. If he could just get through to his mother, he could convince her that he doesn't belong at Brookline. From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who killed her husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he did was lose his temper just a little bit, just the once. But when Ricky is selected by the sinister Warden Crawford for a very special program - a program that the warden claims will not cure him but perfect him - Ricky realizes that he may not be able to wait for his mom a second longer.

Story
The profoundly original and wildly entertaining short stories of a legendary Twilight Zone writer. It is only natural that Charles Beaumont would make a name for himself crafting scripts for The Twilight Zone - for his was an imagination so limitless it must have emerged from some other dimension. Perchance to Dream contains a selection of Beaumont's finest stories, including five that he later adapted for Twilight Zone episodes.

Story
The post-Katrina New Orleans of The City of Lost Fortunes is a place haunted by its history and by the hurricane's destruction, a place that is hoping to survive the rebuilding of its present long enough to ensure that it has a future. Street magician Jude Dubuisson is likewise burdened by his past and by the consequences of the storm, because he has a secret: the magical ability to find lost things, a gift passed down to him by the father he has never known - a father who just happens to be more than human.

Story
The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

Slow but steady. Not unbearably boring.
It doesn't exactly become interesting until around chapter six. the bulk of those chapters are character introductions, world building... everything and everyone but it's all surface. Everyone is pretty shallow and if you met them in person you'd probably never remember them. Jonas is a typical college boy. however he some how decides to become an archaeologist based on a particularly popular movie. I had the same aspirations myself but I was a history fanatic at a very young age. i spent the bulk of my tender years buried in books in the dark recesses of libraries. Jonas spends most of his time drunk or high or having pointless conversations with pointless people.
I would have found the story more interesting if much of it had been pruned heavily. (my mother is a writer and she also gets wrapped up in world building details and way too many characters that ultimately serve no purpose.)
I decided to write this review at chapter 17.... my head is swimming knowing this book contains 56 chapters. 17 chapters in and it finally reached a slight development. (this is me trying not to be too critical btw)
I don't dislike the book. In fact, when the writer gets to the point I quite enjoy it.. It might have been more enjoyable with a different narrator. this guy does an ok job with Jonas and some of the female characters and some of the foreign characters. but ultimately he swings hard between annoying and grating. the only good thing about this is you definitely won't confuse who is who. he absolutely puts effort into making these many unnecessary characters stand out. otherwise there would be too many to keep up with, most of them are unlikeable. i don't know if this is on purpose, i can only say that at this stage the story would greatly improve and become more exciting if half the cast fell into a man eating mummy infested pit it. Jonas may or may not be included... i'm still waiting for him to develop a personality.
If this book makes any sudden changes for the better I will gladly come back and edit my review. Again I have to emphasize I don't dislike it. This would be a fantastic road trip book, or something to read while you painted the house or washed every dish in the house.... all in the same day. Don't worry about zoning out and missing any pertinent details. you'll know when things get "exciting"....
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
