reading this was disorienting in the best way. were the endings good? no, not at all!! were the characters great? not really!! did it make sense? nope!!! but it pulled me in so good that by the final story i had moments where i could not discern what was sci-fi and what was realistic. i loved it.

reading this as an artifact of its time; wish I could say these stories gripped me more.
the storytelling style is at some points confusing.

A unique set of stories filled with imaginative tales steeped in sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. It is of it’s time (body shaming, misogyny), but the themes of alienation, revenge, and conformity she explores remain timeless. Favorite stories: The Covenant, Trial Witch, Full of Malice, My Guy, Memory of Waterally_reads_'s review against another edition
