All I can say is WOW!

I expect this book of short stories to win a lot of awards! A lot of the stories were hella disturbing but at the same time were amazingly well written! I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to reading more from the author.

This short story collection is well written and all the stories had strong concepts. As is bound to happen with short story collection, I did not enjoy every story the same. 

One thing I did notice is that, even though the stories are not bad by any means, almost all stories' ending felt a bit weak to me. It did make me curious to read a full length novel by this author.
