Short story anthologies are always interesting: there are always a few that are completely amazing, and I'm always introduced to some authors and stories that I would have never picked up on my own.In my experience, the short stories in anthologies like this also always seem a bit...weirder? More "out there" than the novels that I read. Like these are experiments to see how far they can push up against the boundaries.Overall, I enjoyed this, but I think I prefer novels, simply because you can get to know the characters and the world more thoroughly -- in short stories, you have finally figured things out and then it's over...
