I never was able to get into those short stories. Their are weird and dark, but in a weird way, like dark place to be in your head or mindset and not like a dark thriller. I like the style of those stories and I should have like them, but I didn't. I think the lack of final twist, or big twist, and the very slow pace were two elements then downgrade my appreciation. I'm not sure I get what the author was trying to do or say, for me this look to be just weird be the sake of it. Something was missing for me!
