Thunderstruck & Other Stories by Elizabeth McCracken

4.0

"Thunderstruck," the title (and final) story, did the dazzling and heavy lifting. It's magnificent and I would read it over and over. "Some Terpsichore" and "Something Amazing" are also really, really good. So that's three of the nine that impressed me.

But I got bored during some of the others: "The House of Two Three-Legged Dogs" and "Hungry" in particular felt a little slow and I struggled to get through them.

But it's still a great collection: three really good, four pretty good, and two that are okay.

4/5
