This short story anthology really suffered from being an anthology. Each of the stories were interesting in their own right, but hit on the same plot structure. As a result, it felt very same-y: There is a foreboding oddity, and then a dramatic, last-page twist. I maybe would've appreciated this more if I read a story at a time, but as-is, it didn't have enough variety between story structures to make for an enjoyable reading experience.
