2.0

Interesting concept but did not hit as hard as it could have. Perhaps the stories hold more significance in the text’s original language. The vignettes are days-in-the-life in a seemingly unsettling way but not disturbing / unsettling enough to feel like there was a point being made. The stories wandered without too much intention and soon became hard to follow and stay interested in.

It was a fine collection, I enjoyed the first half of the stories before it started to drag on. Waxen Wings, Nightmare, and The Woman Next Door were good. I also liked Flag, but the rest were just alright. Your Rearview Mirror was… well, not even transphobic in terms of the characters thoughts or actions, but it being a plot twist by the author. Just goofy, weird, and anticlimactic.
