Two out of the five short stories were great. The other three were the literal definition of tedium. So two out of five stars.
User Profile
Heavy on sci-fi that respects physics, horror that literally keeps me up at night, abstract novellas that break my brain, fantasy that steps outside European colonialism, literature that glares angrily at the world, anything with broken and non-confirming characters, and any pop lit that has something to say. Non-fiction typically centers on exploratory deep dives on the natural world.
