This book is a good mix of hits and misses. Some of the stories felt like shells of a story that needed to be fleshed out more. Some of the stories were too scary for my taste, some of them I just didn't get (maybe they were too deep or too subtle?). Oppositely, some of them were fantastic. I probably wouldn't read the whole thing again but I would definitely read select stories.
