I got the book to read THE SPOILED WIFE. Will pick some others before I return it to the library.

--The Rubber Room DNF Man in a rubber room narrating. He is talking crap about Jews and he is collecting WWII items. I imagine there is some redeeming quality by the end but I'm not interested.

--The Night Before Christmas 2* The final irony was good but I hated the characters. The W cheating on the H and expecting to claim his hard earned fortune and home and the "boyfriend" thinking he could just take the place of the H, his cars, home, wife. stupid. No sympathy.

--Pumpkin 4* Good, classic mild Halloween horror story. Would read again.

--The Spoiled Wife 4* SF cryogenics this one has stayed with me all the people that were frozen waiting for someday in the future when they could be cured from disease or w/e.... well iirc the company that froze them went bankrupt waiting for science to catch up so an alternative happened with these people. Some company sells them to people. The people get to choose which one they want. The MC of this story was looking for a sex buddy. If it doesn't work out just stop giving them their "pill" and they rot and die.

--Picture 3* one of those "you got exactly what you wished for" stories. funny

--The Undead 4* A book shop has an original draft of Dracula. We learn a bit about why it's special and what has been edited out by Bram Stoker. A customer comes to the shop after hours inquiring about the book. He must have had to wait until the sun went down ;)

--Comeback 3*

--Pranks 1* ambiguous ending did the house vanish?

--The Totem Pole 3* ( )
