Morbid, but beautiful!!
I'd rate the stories in the following order:
1. Kids who come back
2. Where are you, dear heart?
3. Meat
4. The well
5. No birthdays or baptisms
6. The lookout
7. The cart
8. Rambla triste
9. Angelita unearthed
10. Back to when we talked to the dead
11. Our lady of the quarry
12. The dangers of smoking in bed.
