This will be difficult to review as I don't normally read this type of book.  Because the book is described as a collection of "weird" stories then I suppose some of my criticisms must be taken in that context.  The term weird is indeed very accurate, but what I personally found annoying was the abrupt and incomplete ending in some of the stories. Some stories seemed to have left "loose ends", and were somewhat pointless, but perhaps I missed some hidden meaning somewhere?  I did enjoy the last story about the student in the bedsit and this was a real "page turner" and did have a nice twist at the end.  One thing which I must say always annoys me in professional writing is grammatical errors and I found a few of these.  I feel that a professional writer ought to have a near perfect command of the language he or she is writing in.I wouldn't buy a book like this again, but to be fair I'll give it a reasonable rating as I'm not familiar enough with the genre to be too judgemental.Tony
