Most of the stories were pretty meh with a very few exceptions. They weren't bad really they just weren't great. There wasn't anything about them that kept me up at night or made me think about them after closing the book. My couple favorites were Saving Face (mostly because it was one of the only ones that seemed to go all out - it was strange and gruesome and disconcerting), If You Knew Suzie, Shelter Island, and La Fleur de Nuit. Some of the other ones (Wolfsbane, The Little Sacrifice, Incident Report) tried much too hard in my opinion and were completely boring or unenjoyable to read. I didn't understand Incident Report at all and The Little Sacrifice about two and a half pages long (somehow I managed to get sort of lost in that one too).
And the others, they're just kind of there.
If you do, for whatever reason, feel the need to read this (I really don't see the point), get it from the library, it's really not worth spending money on.
Final: C-
