I am slowly making my way through this as a buddy read with my sister. As with all short story collections, some I love, some I dislike, and some are meh. The really great ones leave us something to ruminate on for a good while. And I really love this cover artwork. (After some oppressive heat lately, I was surprised to be chilly when reading outside today.)
Time for my daily short story, with zero help from Sleepy!Casey. I‘m up to one by Wole Talabi, whose novels caught my eye the other day. Hopefully his short work will bump them up my library list.
pickI'm starting to get a better appreciation for short stories but I think this one wasn't for me. Scifi is my least fav genre sooo. Still, I did really like many of the stories which were Much shorter than I thought they'd be. Some fell into a realm of fantasy/folklore, while others felt almost silly in how scary they were (library story!!), while most showed me more of the typical scifi world. I'd like to revist some of these!
Another recent book from my shopping trip. Short stories are great for reading slumps and as palate cleansers. The cover did a great job catching my eye and reeling me in.
