Possibly more like 3.5 stars due to moments in the writing that felt a little Creative Writing 101, but really overall I enjoyed these weird ass stories.

I couldn't even finish this book. The short stories were all wildly depressing and centered on death and destruction and twisted relationships, haunting and eerie without revealing any truth or beauty. If you like startlingly macabre thinking stories, this will probably be just the thing for you, but for me, It just brought on horrible feelings and I figured my life would be better without it.
