Magical and wonderful and so beautifully written!!! From the 'Index of Things to Come' to the very end I absolutely devoured it.
These short stories have just the right mix of real and surreal and I loved how they bled into each other and complimented each other.
There's one slightly bigger story (Spud & Spud II) which is set in the future and told in alternate chapters though different characters' perspectives. That made it a bit choppy to read but it did make the whole thing feel more like a book than a collection of short stories.
It's hard to choose a favourite but End Times and Mr Stills' Squid Days are up there. I also loved the first one, I'm Fine, But You Appear To Be Sinking, but I wasn't yet in short story mode so it felt like it ended too suddenly!
