This anthology was gifted to me by a friend in high school, but I keep coming back to reread stories. It's not an easy book to find but I highly recommend it.

I didn't like any of the stories, and I hated most of them for being sad, depressing, and horrifying (absolutely not funny, either). Annoying.

[Tatjana · Rating 4 out of 5]

An engaging anthology. Many well-known writers contributed to this incredible collection. Each one raised my eyebrows a bit higher. So many anthologies are sloppily collected and edited together in a haphazard way. This book flowed; whether by chance or design, I can't say.

Read this book! Especially the stories "Tots" -be warned, this is hilarious, yet disturbing; "Jupiter's Skull"; "Bill, The Little Steam Shovel"-this one is the one to read!
