Karen Russell is an excellent writer, her writing style is so evocative and vivid. The stories themselves were incredibly compelling, I just really wanted more and more of each story. It's hard to choose a favourite, I felt very strongly towards almost all of them with only Antarctic tailgating feeling quite uninteresting, and frankly quite pointless. I genuinely love these stories, they're super creative and tap into otherworldly yet incredibly human experiences many endure.
