The majority of these stories are excellent! This edition combines the author’s two original anthologies published in 1993. While some of the stories are decidedly juvenile, most have deeper, adult undertones that make reading them extremely enjoyable. Many also have subtle morals throughout (such as the perils of revenge, poor decisions, and excessive pride) that enhance the stories for adults. Overall this was a solid, well-rounded anthology with just the right amount of creepiness!
