This collection of stories stands out for its beautiful writing, with occasional phrases completely captivating my attention. They are weird stories, and I like weird, generally, but they're also often unclear. Each one takes a turn in an unexpected direction, something so exciting when it works, but almost every time I just couldn't follow the path and make sense of where we ended up. That could be my failure in reading comprehension, or the author's ability to lead me. Still an interesting voice and I look forward to seeing how it develops. (

This was an ARC through Netgalley.

A wild collection of short stories, unpredictable and wide ranging. Not my usual fare, particularly as these stories were unafraid to take the dramatically violent route. I most liked the imagined afterlife of jumpers on the London Underground, as a community of sorts travels on, across the network. (
