Full disclosure, I have a story in this collection.
I took this book with me for a holiday in Greece and it was such fitting reading material. The stories are so varied from original mythologies to stories based on a number of different mythologies. The authors have such different styles, from urban fantasy to literary, which gives a wonderful mix to the anthology. If you are new to Newfoundland and Labrador and Atlantic Canadian fantasy, this is a good introduction to local fantasy. If you have been reading Atlantic Canadian fantasy for a while, you'll find many favourites and hopefully a few new favourite authors!

Some excellent stories in here. Definitely a mixed bag.
Some of my favourites were "Clay" by K. A. Mielke and "Silvern Voices" by Andrew Hawthorn.
If you like mythology, you'll like this book. If you don't, you probably won't. Its eclecticism is its charm.
