A fun collection of surreal, very short stories that are all interconnected. I think they’re impactful because they’re snippets of a surreal version of our own world, with astute observations and a similar amount of contradictions and strangeness.

A nice little vignette of a peculiar town ala Welcome to Nightvale through the youthful eyes of one of its residents. Reading the book makes you feel like a guest passing through town and hearing of the various stories about its inhabitants
