Gateways to Abomination by Matthew M. Bartlett

Eh.
Okay, to be clear: it's not "collected short fiction". That implies these were published in various places before being collected. They were clearly not. Almost none of these could stand alone, as they lacked such things as characters or plots. Many of them read like a group of interstitials that abandoned their novel because they thought they could go it alone. They cannot.
Imagery is impressive, the rest of it, not at all. At least it was short, because I was honestly bored by the end.
