I think I forgot 13 earlier.
13. Requiem: Really cool. Started quite rough but proved to be worth the effort and genuinely interesting. I'd like to see more of the world and how people live 4/5

15. Do I Dare Ear a Peach: I, ironically, did not remember this one and had to go back and check it. It was well written and I enjoyed it while I was reading it. Very little actually happens or is learnt so it didn't leave a huge impression on me. Amnesia stories do interest me and this was good 4/5
16. This one made me quite uncomfortable but it was well written and clearly thought out 3/5

14. Infidel: Well written but very strange at the end. The atmosphere was very good, but I would not recommend it to anyone for anything deeper than the cool surface level descriptions and vibes 3/5

10. Pool People: Remarkably powerful, much more serious than any of the others so far. Unexpected but welcome weight 4/5
11. A week in the inside: I liked this one but found it extremely weird how he has sex with the female vampires body after killing her 4/5
12. Requiem: Really cool, started rough but proved to be interesting. I like the world and its ramifications 4/5

6. Folly for three: The syntax of this was interesting but it got quite old half way through, I don't really get what it's trying to say or why it's here. 2/5
7. The impaler in love: I hate this one 0/5
8. The moose church: Fun format, weird story, cool idea 4/5
9. Mrs Rinaldis Angel: Really cool. Classical and interesting style 4/5

4. Teratisms: This fairs worse in my memory than it did while reading though I didn't like it then. It is written like it's already a classic but it really isn't. The dialogue is hard to follow sometimes and the prose is vague. 1/5
5. M is for many things: I didn't and probably don't understand this one, it was written in a style that reminded me of classic children's tales. Really quite menacing 3/5

1. Lay Me Down: Entertaining but not extremely memorable or meaningful. This interpretation of a vampire was refreshingly unique. 2/5
2. The Slug: Picked up as it went along, this one was enjoyable and I liked the ending. 3/5
3. The Warm Man: This one was excellent, I really enjoyed reading it and it was a nice take on the idea. 5/5

The first story was ok. Fun and novel but not very memorable or meaningful to me.

The second story was interesting, it started rather reluctantly but the end really appealed to me and I find myself looking back more positively than I'd looked forward.
