I have no idea how I'm supposed to respond to this book because a lot of the stories were just deeply "weird". I liked most of them, loved only one of them, and was puzzled by a couple of them. The story I most enjoyed is the one where a man does indeed walk into a bank, and ends up somewhere very far away, but the journey to that somewhere else is the strangest thing I have ever read, (and yes, there was an octopus involved!) I kept laughing at it, but I can't say it was funny. (It was just very ticklish to me.)

I won't even call these Horror stories, although I suppose some of the stories are kind of terrifying, when you think about them.

Like any anthology, the stories are a mixed bag, and your mileage may vary with each one.

This is an odd collection of stories. Some of them I didn't understand what I was reading, but I enjoyed the story anyway... which tells me Scheidemantel can weave a story! From weirdly odd to unusually weird, there is a story for everyone, but not everyone for these stories.
