This is a very difficult book to classify. There are some supernatural elements, but it is not a supernatural book. There are a few love stories, horror stories, stories of family, stories of life, but it doesn't fall into just one category.

The book also doesn't easily fall into a book I liked or a book I disliked because of the wide variety or authors and styles. I defiantly enjoyed Libba Bray's story "It's Not Just for Breakfast Anymore" the most, as I felt it had a powerful message and was beautifully written. Sarah Weeks short story "Superman Is Dead" was also a stand-out in the anthology.

I did not, however, think Peter Abrahams' story was all that great. Nor did I really get David Levithan's story, which was surprising because I usually love his work. Though I was entertained by Gene Luen Yang short comic, my first exposure to any of his work, I don't think it (or Patricia McCormick's short story) was very memorable.

Overall, it was worth the read but nothing terribly special. An interesting combination of styles, themes and stories that won't really keep you up all night reading.
