58/130 (2019 Reading Challenge)

Classic IW. 3 Novella length SS make up this book. Have read before, it’s not one of my favourites but even on a non-favourite day’s I still love to read him. Some classic characters do make an appearance which is a nice touch. There are still some great moments, maybe the best being LLoyd’s Acid Trip.

Enjoyed the chemical romance plot of story 3 a little more, but stories 1&2 relied too much on 'shock factor' with little substance elsewhere to be redeemable
