I did not read the entire book. It was overdue, and I am very busy. But the three stories I did read--"The Creatures in the House," "The Making of Me," and "A Nose Against the Glass"--were amazing. They were filled with creepiness and pathos. These stories reminded me of Bruce Coville, whom Jeff and I were digging on over the summer, but with more substance and humanity. This is saying something, because Coville also has a knack for injecting humanity into short horror/fantasy stories.

Updated to add: I have now read the whole book. It rocked.
