Some of these stories were amazing and downright terrifying. In particular I enjoyed “As Humans Burn Beneath Us” by Sara Tantlinger, “The Meat™️” by Tim Hoelscher, “Root Structure” by Eddie Generous, “Los Angeles Is Sinking” by Gwen C. Katz, “The Last of Her Kind” by Eric Raglin, “The Huitlacoche Is Doing Fine” by Alex Woodroe, and “When the Rains Come” by Tom Jolly. The tone in these stories and the morally grey characters present in some of them made them a fun read. 

Overall, it was an intriguing albeit a bit uneven collection of eco-horror. Mother Nature fighting back in all kinds of ways, with some very eerie and others a little convoluted.
