I have enjoyed David Sedaris' writing. This book is a set of short stories by authors that Sedaris himself admires. The stories aren't as LOL funny as Sedaris' own, but if you enjoy dark humor, dysfunctional families, untimely death, and insanity, give it a go.

I find Sedaris extremely depressing. I don't see dysfunctional family horror stories as humorous. I think I'm the only person that holds this opinion.
