I think it's hard to review short story collections because in most cases, some stories are going to hit for you and some will miss. Overall, I think this was a good collection.

Some of my favorites that I thought about after finishing:
Nicholas Was... 
Troll Bridge 
The Goldfish Pool and Other Stories 
When We Went to See the End of the World by Dawnie Morningside, age 11¼ 
Murder Mysteries
Snow, Glass, Apples
