This was quite a short addition to the series this time, but the stories were still interesting.
I can't really say much without getting into spoilers so here it goes.
The first story was one of the typical 'you get what you deserve' stories. I'm not even mad that he got replaced by a much nicer version of himself.
The second story was similar. The teenage guy being moody and hating everything and everyone, when they're just trying to be nice. How's cousin even saying that he's collecting his tickets for him so he can get the console he wants.
The third one was the best in my opinion. It was dark, twisted, played with your mind. I'm still not sure what really happened in the end, but that's fine.

Truly I have never had to stop myself from having a really visceral reaction to a book before, but the stories in this volume were particularly gory and gruesome.
