Like any modern day short story collection, this is filled with immersive and clever stories that have bad endings. I will say that I enjoyed > 50% of the stories included, which is pretty rare.

Such a diverse group of stories - all of which I found myself able to dive into. Really liked each story in its own way. I like how the author explored different genres - which is cook because we tend to stick to certain ones, so this got me out of my “comfort zone”.

This was a just fine 3 star, the stories imaginative and I liked the writing, but when I finished each would just go huh and move on. Until the second to last story 'Manus' =0 This "review" is a little note to self to get a literature degree or join a real smart book club and then come back and do some lit analysis on that bad boy because It Is Wild.
