An Apple for the Creature by Charlaine Harris, Toni L.P. Kelner
4.0
There's a wide range of stories here, and a chance to meet some writers who may be new to you.
There are some strong stories here, especially Mike Carey's Iphigenia in Aulis, and I don't recall any weak ones - although Sookie Stackhouse stories are by definition the Twinkies of SF and this one's no exception.
Several of the authors draw you in quite deeply for short stories. I think the combination of teaching and, er, creaching allows for some interesting ideas. Quite a few of the stories aren't set in a school.
Worth the time. I'd borrow it rather than buying it, though.
