As with any short story collection, all the stories were very different. Some I actually did like, although they were inconveniently placed in the middle of the collection, so the start was rough and so was finishing it. After a while, the characters in the stories felt very repetitive. The prose in some of the stories also included accents, but they were very intermittent and inconsistent, so that didn't really add much. 

Another thing lots of the stories had in common was the endings sucked. The story would start so good and interesting, but then the ending would be so meaningless it felt useless. The first two stories has this as well as Two Truths and a Lie. Some did actually have points and that made me like them. Only Corpses Stay and Rath were my favourites.
