I read 12 of the 16 stories in this anthology. I didn't read them in order.
The stories were so CREATIVE! I think I wasn't in the right mindset for those types of stories because every time I finished one, it would leave me confused. Many stories didn't leave a lasting impression on me, I felt like reading through them was going through the motions. I wasn't fully enjoying this book and that it why I brought it back to the library. The stories in this book are WEIRD (in the best way possible!) so I wouldn't recommend them to just anyone. The stories were written in different point of view but all carried a similar mood that I struggled to get used to...
I did appreciate that just how Canada is multicultural, this book shows monsters from a variety of myths in different cultures! It showed how folklore travels with immigration and I really liked that!
Reading about Canadian characters also makes me happy because I love being able to feel the mood of the city in which it takes place, something I can only really do with Canadian cities. I love being able to connect to the setting as well as the characters.
