I laughed out loud when I first read the title for this collection because I thought it was funny and clever. I received it as a promotion and I think it's an excellent introduction to the work of Platt and Wright. If you're not sure which of their serialized novels to read this is definitely the place to start. First, it gave me a chance to read their work and decide it was up to my standards (it definitely is), but it also gave me a chance to decide which serials I wanted to read and which to start with. For starters, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I very much want to read four of the five serials. I'm surprised because one has zombies (Z2134) and another has vampires (Available Darkness), and I'm sick to death of both. I was intrigued enough by the reviews of Z2134 that I read the first episode and was intrigued enough that I want read the rest of the first season. Yesterday's Gone is the first I'll read as it feels like the best of Stephen King (as long as it has a good ending, King's worst weakness) and the first episode gets off to a great start. Almost as intriguing was White Space and ForNevermore.Again, if you're uncertain about either reading serials or unfamiliar with Platt and Wright, this is a great place to start.
