Was given this book to read for the Book Club i’m in and i was a bit apprehensive as i am not usually taken aback by short stories. usually a couple are quite good but are dulled by others that can be forgettable.
every single story in this collection gripped and and had me intrigued from the beginning. yes some were better than others but none were bad or boring or just alright. i found each left me feeling different emotions whether that be a weird sense of unease or laughter or confusion.
here’s my ranking of my favourites:
1. The Shadow Over Little Chitaly
2. Company Man
3. Build a Body Like Mine
4. Extinction Event
5. Goth Girl
6. The King
7. Nightstalkers
8. Shake Well
9. Hollow Bones
10. The Problem Solver
11. She’s Always Hungry

I literally just got this book in my Libby library a couple days ago after having it on hold for weeks! Am excited to read it – I really enjoyed Penance and Boy Parts earlier this year.
