Book: McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories

After thoroughly enjoying McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales, I eagerly checked this out from the library. I wasn't as enamored with this collection as I was with Thrilling Tales however there were still some excellent stories to be read. Notably, Margaret Atwood's Lusus Natuare, Stephen King's Lisey and the Madman (a short version of Lisey's story), Heidi Julavits', The Miniaturist and Daniel Handler's, Delmonico to name a few. I still recommend this book to anyone who enjoys short stories as there are more good stories in this anthology then there are disappointing ones.
