This book was super difficult for me to read. I don’t think I am smart enough for a book like this. I think I would have liked this more if I was reading it for a literature class. I kinda wanted an English teacher to hold my hand through this one. Sometimes I understood what was going on and other times I didn’t. I’m also not a big fan of short story collections in general. There was only one at the end that I really could pin down as sci-fi. All the others where more literary. Also, I think a Boy Scout got molested by a ghost lady? That whole story was weird and confusing.
