All The Names for God was my favourite out of all of the stories here. Manus lost me a little with the dystopian fiction. There was a lot of genres tackled (with mermaids too) but overall it kept me interested and felt like a mixed bag of many genres in one book.

Each of the stories in this collectuon is wonderfully written. I would gladly read each as a full novel, but telling such robust and captivating tales in a short story format is beyond impressive. I would recommend this collection to anyone.

Some stories in this book deal with difficult topics, but it is worth the read. Content warning for title story.
