Summary: Like dreaming someone else's nightmares
Review: These short stories are well crafted, with spare, terse sentences that strike with considerable force. Each piece begins abruptly, terminates inconclusively, and presents amazingly powerful imagery, both visual and auditory. Many of these images I would rather not have in my head. We usually know little or nothing about the characters; there are no real "stories." There is a dark, disconnected sensation that is close to what you feel when you are dreaming; the sense of detachment makes it feel as though you're dreaming someone else's nightmares. I can't say that I found this enjoyable; although the stories are technically interesting, the imagery is too disturbing for my tastes. Still, like the best horror films, your hands are covering your eyes at the same time that you're peeping between your fingers... Hard to keep reading, hard to stop reading.

Summary: The most brilliant, innovative and visionary writer alive...
Review: This short story collection is a gift, indeed. Kathe Koja's stories are so wonderful that I often scanned the shelves of bookstores for anthologies with Koja stories, then I'd sit and read her story in its entirety. Now, at last, we have all of her stories in one volume. Buy this book, then seek out her novels, even the ones out of print. Koja is by far the best novelist alive and by signing with Four Walls Eight Windows and getting away from the horror publishing houses, she may finally get the attentions she deserves. Favorites from this collection include "Angels in Love," "Bird Superior" and "The Neglected Garden." Buy this book now so you can start catching up on years of great reading!
