Every fourth page is a full-color figurative painting, each one by an excellent artist. The other pages have fiction on them, with only one color but lots of words including punched, pants, and Puerto -- that's actually just the first page. After that, there are stories exploring animal-plant romances, psycho librarians, and passive-agressive ventriloquism. No fewer than two dictators appear as protagonists. And after all that, loosely glued to the inside back cover, there5;s a fifty-page booklet containing a harrowing excerpt from Chris Adrian5;s The Children5;s Hospital..

A beautiful hardcover edition with a cover illustration of colorful organic shapes and growths that playfully obscure the introduction text. The stories are punctuated by full-color, full-page artwork every fourth page. I can't say I remember the stories within this volume, but it included an additional booklet containing an excerpt of Chris Adrian's forthcoming novel, "The Children's Hospital." I was so entranced by the story of doctors, staff, parents, angels (yes, angels), and patients trapped in a children's hospital during an apocalyptic, rapture-like event that I bought the book when it was published.

The art mix feels wrong. (

This one is beautiful. Lots of bright artwork, really nicely designed. The stories were meh, but the volume is a pleasure. (

A beautiful collection of short stories, with this edition featuring a modern painting on every fourth page. You’re never really sure what to expect in the paintings or the stories, and there were some real gems here. It’s hard to call out a favorite with as many hits as there were, but I found the four-page story “Terminal” by J. Erin Sweeney profound and it stuck with me. The quality of the writing and editing had me smiling throughout, and I didn’t want the collection to end. (
