I was absolutely entranced by this book, and read it in a few hours because every time I put it down I found myself picking it back up. The stories ranged from eerie, to sad, to haunting, to hopeful and reflective. Several I definitely want to reread again, knowing how they end, to see if I can pick up more from them than I had the first time, and almost all of them left me with distinct thoughts or feelings about the messages within. Fantastic collection of short stories.

This was an incredible collection of short stories. I loved how each one had a deeper meaning, and I loved the message behind them.
