Crazy
Not in the mood or just too unbelievable. Didn't like the short stories or the novelette. I was disappointed with the stories.

I don't want to call these stories mediocre, but maybe medium good? They are not bad at all, but they are not very exceptional either, they fall somewhere in the middle. It kept me entertained enough to finish the book, and I tend to enjoy this author otherwise. This just wasn't his best work.

A thoroughly mined topic handled well by a very talented writer. Not everything is a home run, but there are some very good, creepy reads included resulting in 4 stars.
