Possibly my favorite book ever acquired through a Kickstarter. It's a collection of stories short enough to fit on a postcard (occasionally with very small print, but mostly not), with the idea being that these are postcards other versions of you have sent yourself from alternate realities. That conceit works on many, though not all. I estimate that I genuinely liked maybe 80% of these, and was indifferent to or mildly disliked perhaps 5%, with the other 15% hitting my "meh, it's okay" bar.

While this could be read in an afternoon, I enjoyed it more by savoring, by reading one at a time and pausing for a while before reading the next. Genres vary from SF to fantasy to weird to horror. Most are poignant. Some are funny. Some are both.

Highly recommended.

Fall 2018:

A delightful romp in tiny short storied from other worlds and other universes. I truly delighted in kickstartering this, in listening to Cecil read them, in all the pictures and in all the words. I hope there end up being more of these made. I would own and read all of them.
