The Ape's Wife and Other Stories by Caitlín R. Kiernan
3.0
The Ape's Wife and Other Stories was never on my radar until now. Which in some ways I'm kind of glad for. Plus any book that's filled with lots of short stories needs to be on my radar from now on. They are so easy to fly through and I really like when I get creepy ones from time to time.
Now I liked how some of the stories could get dark but others kind of felt incomplete to me. Mostly with how they ended or didn't (in a weird way). I sometimes like open endings because I can think of whatever I like for that book. However, since this was basically short stories I would have like final endings. It could just be me though..
As for the actual stories, well, I did enjoy a few a bit more than others. Then there were some duds in my eyes but that's due to not enjoying the endings of them. I'm just honestly happy that I found the time to dive into this and I can't wait for my next short story collection.
