This is not the first book I've read by this author, but it just might be the last. Out of the 15 stories in this book, maybe 3 (a big maybe) stood out. I'm a horror/thriller fan and only a few stories struck me as that, the others were so far out there I haven't a clue what they were about. This guys head is seriously messed up and personally I don't care to read about things that are so silly that no one gets them but the author. hard pass here.
