I'm at a loss for words when I try to describe this book. It's different. So different. Some of these stories were some of the most ethereal I've ever read. Visitations feels like a fever dream, both vivid and bizarre. Skinny Girls' Constitution and Bylaws is heartfelt and exquisitely creepy. By the Gleam of Her Teeth, She Will Light the Path Before Her is reminiscent of Rabbits by David Lynch. Gravetending is a true tear-jerker. How to Remember a Bird , my favorite of the lot, is a tale that Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe would birth together. The rest is unfortunately nowhere near as good, in my humble opinion. It ranges from just okay to bad. Regardless, the good ones are an immense breath of fresh air. I recommend this collection to lovers of weird fiction, poetry, fantasy, and horror.

My rating of this book is for everything before the novella. That extra section ruins the book.

Impressive. I can think of no other book I’ve read that captures the essence of how our emotions strike us in odd ways. The Physics of Imaginary Things was well worth my time to read and think on.
