Fen by Daisy Johnson
4.0
I had to look up the definition of fen, it’s a type of wetland similar to marshes, bogs and swamps, and not surprisingly, landscape plays a key role in many of the enchanting short stories.
On the surface many of the stories seem magical, fantastical, fey but underneath there is a darkness, a sense of being being trapped in a murky habitat. Many characters seem to be on the cusp, somewhere between youth-and-adulthood, human-and-animal, good-and-evil.
This collection is winsome and weird and most certainly worth reading
