I got this softcover at a local thrift shop. As with many anthologies I found this one a bit hit or miss, but overall I enjoyed it - not least for the introduction by editor Joe Hill. Among my favorite stories:

"Help Me Follow My Sister into the Land of the Dead" by Carmen Maria Machado, from an anthology about "improbable crowdfunding projects"; yes, someone wants crowdfunding help to go to the other side to see her sister. Things... get dark.

"Tortoiseshell Cats are Not Refundable" by Cat Rambo, about cloning - and about the many ways in which a clone may *not* be identical.

"Each to Each" by Seanan McGuire introduces a world where women have been genetically adapted for submarine work - by morphing them into different types of sea creatures, which leads to significant changes in their behaviors and viewpoints. When the protagonist, who's still on the mostly-human side of the morphing process, encounters a mysterious mer-woman who's not from the military's system, she just might find the doorway to a new life.

"Skullpocket" by Nathan Ballingrud, with a delightfully disturbing set of characters in a world that's reminiscent of Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes".

T. C. Boyle's wrenching "The Relive Box," about a gadget that lets people re-experience memories - which can be addicting and sometimes terrifying.

And more!

I left this book in the TARDIS-themed Little Free Library; hope someone enjoys it!
