Another anthology of short stories and comics. Predictably, it was a mixed bag. The short comics were too short to satisfy, as were the very short fictional/nonfiction? essays at the very end.
The first short story, an excerpt from Nisioisin's xxxHolic novel, was decent enough, though I think the animated episode that derives from it was a bit more effective if only because xxxHolic relies very heavily on the fantastic visuals to convey the atmosphere and supernatural.

I really liked all the stories (Except the Drill Hole...). It's great that Del Rey started to pulblish the series (the unfortunate part that they stopped after the second volume).
If someone is interested in the light novel genre but unsure with which to start, this can be an ideal choise. (Just skip the Drill Hole... :) )

This book was really interesting and the first couple of stories caught my interest and kept it. After the third one, I got lost and never quite found myself again. At that point the cultural references and the vagueness of the plot confused me. I struggled through the last bit, not even sure if I was reading the story or the preface where they talk about the background of the writer and the story.
