Query: Interesting Plot Twists; Dark but Funny

My favorite story in here was the title one: Being Dead. The one about dancing just struck me as too much like Poe's the Raven. Although dark like any of Vivian Vande Velde's works, this one wasn't particularly scary. I guess if I were 10 I might be creeped out, but I doubt it. The back of the book made it sound like the stories would keep one up at night. Maybe we're all just jaded these days. In any case, the books a ridiculously easy read and a nice way to spend an afternoon. I might even venture to guess that there's some re-readibility in a few of the stories.
