This is a collection of short stories and they are amazingly written. Midnight Meat Train is in this collection of stories and although it is a bit different than the movie, it is just one of the amazing finds that you will find in this book. Every story, has something interesting going on. When I first read this, I could not put it down. I loved every story. These are not fairy tales but horror stories that keep you guessing and wanting more.
