Wow this book is. A lot. There is so much going on and I love every single bit of it. My only complaint is "Especially Heinous", which felt like it dragged on at times, but it wasn't all too bad. Every story packs a punch and I'm obsessed with all of them. My favorites are definitely "Eight Bites" and "The Resident", although every story is incredible.
