I feel that authors use short stories to experiment. They have a quick idea and want to see if they can make you react. Yeah, this one got me. A lot.
Tim Waggoner is a great writer and brings you right into the story. Gets you curious, empathetic, and absolutely hooked to find out how the story will go. I was lured in and even when I knew what to expect, it still made my stomach drop, or in some cases, lurch. These stories suck you in and actually make you feel the worry, grief, fear, anxiety, pain, and make your skin crawl.
This book is seeded with wise quotes that made me stop and think.
“You can live in yesterday if you want, but I’ve been there, and I wouldn’t recommend it.”
Or
“I guess memories are ghosts, too. But they don’t haunt us with images of what used to be—they haunt us with reminders of the way things aren’t anymore and can never be again.”
This book is also seeded with enough twisted and depraved ideas that I question the authors ability to play nice in society.
