i love some of her early work but if i'm honest reading this just felt like a joyless struggle.
i picked up and put down this book multiple times, persevering due to some interesting imagery and ideas earlier on (e.g. the house of locks and the time/reality psychedelic experiment) but the further i got, the more it seemed like she enjoyed generating interesting character names more than developing characters or worlds.

It's an interesting collection of short stories. Some of them are a bit more forgettable including the first one but stories like the second in the collection really stand out. There is an overall wonderful cohesion between all the stories.
