A Different Bed Every Time by Jac Jemc

5.0

This is my new favorite short story collection. Well, really, it's a mix of short stories, microfiction, and poetry, I suppose. Some of the "stories" are only a page long. A lot of the sentences you'll read here might be hard to decipher in the traditional sense, but the words together create a mood. Most of them aren't plot based. This is not the kind of book you want to read quickly, even though it's short. Read a few stories at a time, really think about the sentences and the words, and I think this'll work best. I see Ms. Jemc at various book events around Chicago, I picked this one up after seeing some good reviews at the Empty Bottle during a Pop-up Book Fair. I hope she brings copies of her novel because I'll be buying that next time I see her if she has it with her.
