Curiosity. Crime. Cold. Chills. Winnipeg.
Winnipeg disrupts many things as it disrupted my alliterative first line.
I found this book to be hit-and-miss, as is per usual with a book of short stories by multiple authors on the loosely similar theme of the weirdness that is Winnipeg. Not that a book on that subject is usual. I found the constant change of authorship to be distracting, as some of the writing styles weren't all that polished or to my taste. Kind of like Winnipeg. All in all, it was interesting, some of the stories stuck with you, and others faded or were frankly sickening in their desperate attempts to be edgy. Kind of like Winnipeg. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, but I lent it to my sister. That's contradictory. Kind of like Winnipeg. After some of the stories, you might wonder if there was a point. Kind of like Winnipeg.
