I absolutely loved this book. I definitely have a thing for interconnected short stories. There were several times where I would yell a little, "Ahhhh!" and read a passage to my husband. It even got him intrigued about it, and he never reads. 

The author did a great job at weaving together interesting tales, and the ending really stuck with me. It's very quick to read, so it's a bit of a rollercoaster. I bet I could find even more connections between the stories on a re-read. As a fan of horror and oddities this was a perfect little book.
