Some of these stories are quite dark. Not bad, but not what I was expecting. Overall I liked this collection, but for me there weren't enough in the 'very good' category.

some stories were so fucking good, and some were so incredibly confusing. And it took me a little too long to finish but it was still so worth it I would very much recommend this anthology
