valjeanval's review
5.0
McSweeney's' always delivers beautiful short stories, and this issue is no exceptions. What made me particularly happy was several that dipped into the genre side of fiction with a healthy slice of magical realism and even some vampires. Some stories in this volumes are queer characters in queer stories. Others are queer characters who just happen to be queer in a story unrelated to their orientation/gender identity. I really enjoyed that balance, and I recommend McSweeney's to anyone who wants a quarterly burst of literary excellence.
