Volume 9 contains 30 all-original stories, including:

In "Head Over Heels," a sentient unicycle enacts long-sought revenge against those who have wronged it.
In "Eyes Without Their Lids," a couple with no memory of their prior lives, awaken in a doorless room and in full sight of a camera that watches all they do.
In "False Witness," a man whose life was saved by a mysterious voice finds himself in the midst of a worse fate.
. . . and more!
