It's a strong "okay" for me. I feel like the stories are going for a profundity that they don't quite achieve. Writing about death and suicide is a worthy cause but doesn't automatically make your story amazing. I stopped after story 5. Slumberland was the only story with potential for me, but the ending did not pull through.

Picked this up because of the title, but stayed because the stories are so delicious.
