"The Mountain Witch" by Lucy A. Snyder - 5*
The quality of these stories varied *wildly*
Some felt far too rushed and tried to do too much in that rushed space. Others knew exactly how to handle the shortened scope of a short story and really nailed it. A lot of them were just... average.
It would come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that the stories rated the highest are almost all fantasy or magical realism.
