review 1: Hated this book!! So disappointed. I thought it was based on the movie... But the movie was only based on 15 pages of this book. That's it!! The rest is short stories. And not good ones. IF someone is going to read this book I ONLY recommend these stories: button button, girl of my dreams, dying room only. And no such things a vampire and mute were okay. The rest sucked! The last story in this book was horrible and hard to read with the annoying slang. So I didn't even finish it. Good luck to anyone who's going to read every page.... I didn't. And I'm okay with it. This book is off to donation.
review 2: The best stories were:Girl of My Dreams--a woman's dreams prophesy the grim deaths of strangers. Her greedy boyfriend uses her dreams to manipulate people by
... moreoffering a price for the disclosure of the details of their deaths so that they might attempt to prevent it.Dying Room Only--a strange diner isolated in the desert has sinister secretsA Flourish of Strumpets--women appear at the doors of homes all over town offering "services." At first Frank resists the whores, but when his friend and a prostitute named Margie convince him that he is only holding back because of his wife, he gives in. At the end, the service, The Exchange, returns to Frank's house for his wife.Pattern for Survival--Loved this one! So clever! A highly demanded author sells his manuscripts in the strangest of ways,Mute--a young boy cannot talk because he was the subject of a cruel experiment performed by his parents and his parents' associates on their children. less

I love short stories! I love endings that make you think WTF, and these stories did just that.

Enjoyed the first story. The rest weren't as good. I thought the main story would be longer.

Loved The Box or Button but not too thrilled about the rest.

Button, Button is the only story worth reading.
