This was a fortuitous find at the library. Some of these short stories really had me thinking that the cultural difference could have lead to some different ideas, as they felt quite different from anything else I recall.
I loved the concept of The Haunted House of Rocketworks Street. My mouth dropped open near the end. Undine was cool. I liked how it's never explained, which let me come to my own conclusions. Bearer of the Bone Harp was another with a great concept. I thought it was terrific. I wish I'd have jotted down notes of what each story was making me think to share in this review. That was much of the appeal of these stories. They really made me think a lot.
The Skinner by Anne Leinonen is excellent, and I know I've read this, or a very similar story before. I can't imagine where I would have encountered her work before though. Wish I could figure it out.
The River God did not resonate at all. Summerland: Chapter One is just that, the first chapter of a novel. It didn't seem to fit in with the short stories to me.
