Looking for Jake: Stories by China MiƩville
3.0

This collection of stories varies widely in subject from an abandoned witch's familiar, to the ghost of an Ikea ball pit, to a secret organization that maps out streets of cities around the world that seemingly travel with a will of their own, to world where Christmas itself has been copywritten. They cover the weird and the fantastic all with a tone of suspense and intensity, vibrating with unexpected weirdness.

I enjoyed many of them. More than I usually do in a collection of stories.
