Do not expect this to resemble anything like a novel.
I'm pretty sure that the author took a bunch of short stories they'd written, and retconned a passing mention of characters from some stories into the other stories in order to pretend that they were linked. I was finding the stories somewhat interesting, but not terribly gripping, but I got about 1/3 of the way through -- and then the author stuck in a "science-fiction vampire" story, at which point I'd finally had enough.
