At first I didn't think I would like the concept and a few of the story-arcs are connected very tenuously but once I started reading I was hooked. The stories are a bit of a mixed bag of genres so there's bound to be at least one story that people will like. It takes me back a bit to Stephen King's short stories in that where the writing is good you don't mind drowning plausibility for a while. The characters are sometimes rather broadly drawn but in the short story genre (particularly horror) that can be okay. I did want to know more about one character and was left a bit unsatisfied but since there's a sequel (which I will be buying once it comes out) I'm hoping he'l be followed up on. This is definitely well-worth the price and gives me hope that the horror short story art form is not dead.
