Most of the stories leave you with a feeling of what the hell? Was more surprised when the ending worked out. I enjoyed the subversion of expectations and the use of the mundane as fright. As per usual, some didn't hit for me. But I thoroughly enjoyed "Shock Wave" as the final one. Would recommend as a foray into his writing for sure.
