Most of these are just moral stories (there's actually one story that is threaded between the stand-alones). The real star of the collection is The New Mother, which any of you who may have read the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series when you were younger may remember, as it was in the 3rd one, I think, in an adapted form. It's totally creepy. All of them have a little bit of eerieness to them, but The New Mother is a standout.
