dark emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.5

A really well written and edited collection of short stories. Each story is slightly twisted away from reality and leans into the feelings and emotions of an event rather than the actions of an event.

Just pure perfection. Each story is set in what is almost exactly like our world, but with a twist. My favourite kind of sci fi.

Beautiful, funny, memorable, clever, but not so clever they forget to be good stories, too.

A well crafted speculative short story collection.
It's hard to come by such a well balanced short story collection. Each short story is wonderful, thier weren't any duds. The collection takes on so many themes and does so in away that allows the reader the ability to easily reflect upon how these issues take place in their own lives. I enjoyed the dark speculative elements. Each story ranges from about 15 pages to 40 pages. I liked how the stories were about the same length which helped make the reading experience enjoyable. If you like dark and weird stories give this a try.
