I had to do some shuffling around on my reader, and ended up starting Limbus, Inc. Book II tonight. Limbus is an odd company - whether it's based on superscience or horror depends on the author - that specializes in matching desperate people with unique jobs, and the company is the common factor in all of the stories. Each anthology has a framing sequence about someone encountering and reacting to the tales, as if we're reading over his shoulder and getting his reactions in between episodes, and that reader isn't sure whether what he's reading is fiction or nonfiction. (Imagine reading a novelization of Creepshow from the perspective of the kid - it's like that.)

The first story in this volume is about an alcoholic veteran who gets recruited to go back in time to save specific women, and the payment he requests is to be able to forget his own tragic loss. The next story is by Joe R. Lansdale, but I'm leaving that for tomorrow...
