Absolutely beautiful prose, easily the best thing about this collection. These are little weird stories that each one I would be excited for in the beginning and at the end of most I felt weren't as weird, didn't go as hard as they should have. The only one I didn't feel that way about was "Cassandra After". I'll read this author's novel, short stories feeling like they just abruptly stopped rather than ended is not something I feel is unique to this author so maybe I'll like her novel more
