Just started reading the thirteenth story, "The Lawnmower Man". After a cat is chased under his lawnmower, Harold Parkette puts off hiring somebody to mow his lawn until it becomes a jungle. He calls a lawnmowing business and they send a man, who brings a mower that runs all by itself. Even weirder, the man crawls behind it and eats everything the mower cuts, including a mole it ran over, which makes Harold faint.

Finished "Strawberry Spring"! After the strawberry spring ended, Springheel Jack was gone. Since then, the narrator has graduated, married, and had a child. But strawberry spring has started again, and another girl has been killed. Even worse, the narrator believes HE might be Springheel Jack, because he can't remember where he was last night or why he's afraid to open the trunk of his car. Overall, great story!

The morning after Amalara's arrest, news breaks out that another murder has happened on campus while Amalara was in jail, proving his innocence. This one is even worse than the last one. This time, the killer took the murdered girl's head with him. Holy shit!

Just started reading the eleventh story, "Strawberry Spring". The narrator remembers eight years ago, when on the first day of Spring, a girl was killed on his college campus. Her boyfriend got charged with the murder, after evidence was found linking it to him. But as the narrator went out for a walk that foggy night, he realized the killer could have been one of the people he passed. Creepy.

Finished "Sometimes They Come Back"! Jim performs a sacrifice ritual to summon a demon at the school. When the bullies arrive to kill Jim in a reenactment of sixteen years ago, the demon takes the form of Wayne and takes the bullies' souls to Hell. As it leaves, it tells Jim it will return, and Jim remembers his demon book warning that sometimes, the summoned demons come back. Yikes! Overall, awesome story!
