While any themed collection suffers from being repetitive, this one suffers A LOT. It's like there was a checklist, make the main character have suppressed memories, throw in some cults, and BOOM, end the world. Failing that, just throw a bunch of weird stuff against the wall and see what sticks.
There were a few stories I did like, but ultimately I think the theme constricted the plots too much, the writing was mostly fine throughout. If I read these by themselves and not back to back I'm sure they wouldn't have annoyed so much, but the same thing over and over with just increasingly over the top weird for the sake of it was just tiresome.
Did I mention how repetitive this is yet?
