I like that you give us a view of all the stories and let us know a little about how you felt about them all. I don't usually do so well with short stories, but really like the sound of this collection. It seems like a really great one!

These stories sound fascinating and thoroughly original.<br /><br />As to your comment about our reading experiences sometimes linking together, I have recently considered this myself. And I don't know what to make of it. Quite randomly I selected two books of fiction on the impact of pestilence/disease on a community - Nemesis (polio) and Year of Wonders (plague) - and then I noticed that in a short space of time I have read two novels by former journalists. I think spotting these conincidences is fun, at the very least :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607373750758021528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-8395962672397140842011-09-08T09:08:52.584+10:002011-09-08T09:08:52.584+10:00Kailana, I have really liked both short story coll...Kailana, I have really liked both short story collections I have read from her, but haven't read Red Spikes yet.<br /><br />Rhapsodyinbooks, she really does have quite an imagination! Looking forward to reading more from her!<br /><br />Carl, I think she has four short story collections out already, and there is at least one more on the way soon (part of the Twelve Planets series that I have posted on about here before).Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-90626473217213340732011-09-08T08:53:14.163+10:002011-09-08T08:53:14.163+10:00I don't know what it is.

Love short stories.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the collection. Could you imagine how enormous we all would be if our weight was determined by our emotional baggage? Wow!
