Chiral Mad 5 by Stephen King

laurablackwell's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Since I wrote one of the many stories in this book (there are poems as well, but I didn't write any of them), I can't give it a rating. Michael Bailey edited this volume and the other four in the series. Chiral Mad 5 is a good example of Weird short fiction, with more questions than answers.  Some of the stories are sad or frightening, but it does end on a hopeful note.
