Anyway, the first story in the book is one of my favorites. It's called "Graveyard Girls" and it's about a guy named Terry who's about to go off to college but during the summer is cleaning up the attic after his girlfriend dumped him. There he finds an old record from a group called the Graveyard Girls.
When he plays a really sad song on an old record player he finds himself suddenly changed into a Goth girl like the band. Fiddling around with the record player he winds up regressing from a college freshman to a high school freshman.
No one else seems to notice this change, not even his mom. He ends up going to the mall and running into another Goth girl, who was a supporting character in a story from the previous book Transformed Into a Dominatrix.
Doing some research, Terry finds out the band who made the record is in San Fransicso, so he and his friend start out on a road trip from Virginia to California.
Along the way they fall in love, have a falling out, and then reconcile. In the process, Terry (now Teri) decides she's happier as a 15-year-old Goth girl than she was as an 18-year-old boy. So the two Goth girls go back home to Virginia.
In an epilogue years later they finally do go to the San Francisco area for college. At a bar Teri meets a woman who offers to change her back into a man, but Teri refuses because she's happy with her new life.
So it was a happy ending. Kind of a nice romance, I thought. Of course not everyone thought that. There used to be a negative review on Amazon but it got purged. Maybe it's still on Goodreads. Anyway, I thought it was one of the better stories. Typically the better stories are the ones that don't involve a guy turning into a hot blonde chick to have sex with someone.
