A really great collection! I was intrigued by all of the stories and I think this collection wins for the most unique series of concepts that I've encountered out of all of the collections I've read.
I loved the undercurrent of creepiness/eeriness and foreboding throughout. There was just something unsettling — in a good way — about it all. The writing was fab too.
Still, far too often a story ended rather too abruptly for me, especially after such slow, delicious build-up. I was left wanting more. My age-old problem with short stories, frankly!
