The first couple of stories in this collection took me a while to get through for some reason—might have just been my mindset when I sat down to read—but once I hit a groove, I really enjoyed the rest.

There was one story that reminded me a little of Katherine Dunn’s novel Geek Love, and the others all contained really imaginative and detailed characters and situations, many quite different from anything I’ve read before.
