The world-building is very adventurous in these short stories, sometimes to the point where I couldn't tell what was going on. At its best, these stories are imaginative and very immersive and read like a mystery we're unraveling. At worst, they were kind of nonsense that would only make sense on a second or third read. My favorite stories were The Summer People and Two Houses.
