This was a little hard to read because the plot is creepy and bleak, but interesting. I like that in the Afterword he explains that this doesn't really reflect a lot of goth culture, though the main characters are goths. The plot twists in each story were interesting and I couldn't guess most of them, though the last story confused me a bit.
