Pretty much every story in this collection is just bad. The Harlan Ellison one is okay. Lots of moralistic BS and “loss of innocence” stuff and pedestal-putting of women, of course. Also a very ugh rape story.
I had this one on my shelf largely because I remember reading it as a kid, or one much like it, though now I'm not so sure this is the same collection. The Stephen R. Donaldson story “Mythological Beast” is one I remember reading in a collection I'd gotten from the library, and is notable largely because it triggered one of my earliest experiences of déjà vu.
