Eleven short stories, each unique and highly creative. Controlled Descent is dystopian with a shocker of an ending that will stay in my head quite awhile. I Blame Myself But Also You, the first story in the collection, kicks things off with a mundane scene that quickly turns off kilter and careens towards a pleasantly dark and absurdist end. Tube Man, a farcical take on minimalism, was fun and engaging. As a collection, each story is an easy one-sitting read, and each pulls the reader in immediately. Great combination of flavors here, all deliciously imaginative and cleverly composed.
