A review by declaired
God, the Moon, and Other Megafauna by Kellie Wells
4.0
(NB: I read about 65% of this collection of short stories, which tipped it over the edge for me to count it, but then it was Extremely Overdue at the library and I had to give it back)
The quality of the writing in these stories is very high - it's a beautiful collection of metaphorical and lyrical short stories, but still easy enough to follow and enjoy. Like Helen Oyeyemi's collections, these stories are discrete but also sometimes bleed into each other - a phrase, a character, a full arc across the length of the collection. They're funny/absurd, and I like all the short stories with God in them, God as a troublesome god, mucking about with time.
