Query: A Disappointing Introduction

I picked up several anthologies at once on my last trip to the book store. I love them, since they give you a nice sampling of the work of various authors, and has led me to some great books in the past. Unfortunately, none of the authors listed here are showcasing anything I'd buy.The first story was so laden with painful dialogue that fell somewhere between ebonics and redneck slang that I nearly had to put it down. I persevered, but was not rewarded for my efforts. I won't speak to all the stories, only suffice it to say that none of the writers did their best work here - I hope.I highly recommend you do not waste the money.
