I didn't realise until I read the intro that this is supposed to be a Young Adult collection.
This is a really good collection. A few of the stories were really enjoyable but with disappointing endings, but others (notably "Prank" and "The Writing on the Wall") are just wonderful. This collection also contains one of my favourite Neil Gaiman short stories, "Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Nameless House of the Night of Dread Desire", which is just hilarious.
