It's rare that I enjoy a collection of short stories as much as this one, and if I do, it's usually all from one author. Interestingly, and somewhat annoyingly, each short story had an even shorter little into. This would have been useful in the table of contents, rather than directly in front of each story. It would make reviewing each story easier, rather than just being an extra page to flip past. I didn't read a single one after the first.
