When I found this in the comic shop I was really interested and a bit excited. I'd never seen a short story collection in graphic novel form before. Reading it has been both exhilarating and disappointing, as the stories and art are a real mix. They range from incredibly poignant to depressingly shit. Read it for the few gems, but you will have to wade through a fair bit of crap and mediocrity.
In particular i found the story 'Black Death in America' very moving and thoughtful. You can read it online here if you can't be arsed getting the whole collection:
