The Collectors: Stories by A.S. King
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
DNF 25%
Thank you Penguin for this ARC
A short story anthology revolving around what different people collect.
Normally I love collections like these, I think it's one of the best ways to discover new authors, or you get a bunch of stories in one. For some reason this just didn't hit Some of these authors I really enjoy, so I was very disappointed to just for some reason not be enjoying the book.
I know short stories are difficult because authors only have a short amount of time to make everything happen. There were times when I had no idea what the plot or message was supposed to be, or it felt overly heavy handed. I do not feel like a lot of the stories even connected to the theme, or just I think I wasn't enjoying the writing.
I think a lot of people will enjoy these stories, but they are not for me. If you like any of these authors I say try it out for yourself.
