If you dislike open endings, this is not the story collection for you. I don't know if I liked the "reflection questions" added after each story, but mostly because they make the preceding story feel less like something to live in and more like an academic or therapeutic exercise. Not a bad thing (often stories do that for me anyway), but I'm not sure most readers really need to be prompted to think of how a piece of fiction might connect to real life.

Some really cool takes on creatures of the night, and engrossing characters and plotlines.
