Finished reading this a while ago and put it aside not really knowing what to say about it. Now I'm coming back to it later and I still don't have too much to say about it, nor am I sure I remember so much about it. The stories here are all very well written, but I can't say much about specifically what happened.

I remember the vibe though. The stories felt like walking into someone elses mind. Someone who had very different thoughts from mine, or at least a very different rhythm of thinking. There were things that were familiar, basic human emotions, and I could recognize them, but when I tried to attach myself to them and use them to orient myself I found the rules were different and I the story was already already changed into something that I couldn't recognize. Like I was playing with a band who had a different system of keys.

I can't deny there's something there, furthermore, it seems well done, but I still lack the system to really place it.
