The book provides examples of:

  • Complete Monster: In "Broken Dolls", The Dollmaker is a mysterious, elderly sculptor with a large collection of life-like dolls. To create these, the Dollmaker would smear countless victims—implied to be mostly children—with "Dolly Jelly", a substance that painfully drains them of life to trap their souls in porcelain figures, all still aware and barely able to even cry for help. Initially seeming polite and grandmotherly to Tamara Baker and her little brother Neal, the Dollmaker tries to add Neal to her collection. When Tamara discovers the old woman's secret, the Dollmaker brushes off the girl's horror and anger, claiming that children today simply don't understand her ways. She then prepares to dispose of Tamara with the Jelly, coldly taunting her that children go missing so often this century, and that she'll just be one more.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The collection has a story that is about a universal remote that can literally control the universe. The title? Click.
