The Pines' victory over Bill Cipher was tainted with great sorrow. Stan's mind was gone, and nothing remained of Mabel but a pile of shattered stone. Warning: major character death, possible suicidal thoughts, and of course, Bill Cipher at his worst.

These three short stories are interludes, occurring between or during the chapters of "Crater of the Fallen Star", but not really associated with the main plot. You'll probably want to read that first, or most of this won't make much sense.
