What a great collection of stories! This was much darker than I expected, and so very weird. Karen Russell has a gift for starting a story with a normal premise and very quickly shifting into unexpected places. All of the stories were great, but I particularly liked The Tornado Auction. But let’s not mistake this for a happy ending. Nothing destroyed me, and nothing is over.
The audiobook narration was excellent as well.
