First story has its merits (the badass lesbian was fun to read about), but by the second one I was a bit tired of the detailed descriptions of everyone's penises. The horror was a big miss for me as well. Not exactly "cosmic", either. Unless strange women that make you want to have sex with them in confusing ways is... horrific to you. 
All of this felt too much male gaze-y for me, not to mention boring as hell.
