Thank you to the editor for providing a review copy.
I was so excited when I saw this anthology was coming out. Nirvana is the first band I found on my own that I fell in love with. As with any collection, it is a very mixed bag. A lot of the stories were just okay, and I failed to see how some of them connected to Nirvana. However, there are a lot of gems here too. 3.5 stars
