I think my favorite story from the lot was "The cutting" which is better if you read it. I listened to the audiobook but did seek out a print copy at my library to reread this one and the page layout adds a level of depth to the story.
My rating system
1 - Did not enjoy
2 - Not irredeemable but has too many flaws to say I enjoyed
3 - Enjoyed it
4 - Great book but didn't love it
5 - Amazing book
Graphic: Gore, Body horror, and Violence
Moderate: Child death, Death, and Bullying
