Best Short Stories 1991 edited by Giles Gordon and David Hughes.

A collection of short stories 'from Britain and the Commonwealth.' All well crafted, though some of them lack a clear plot or seem pointless. I liked 'Magnets' by Colm O'Gaora best, as simple description of how a man spends the last hours of his wife's life with her. 'Eggs for the taking' by June Oldham is a chilling storie of an old lady's descent into senility and mental illness, and will be a good addition to a collection of horror stories.
