This is a really incredible collection, focusing on transformation, power, and identity. The range in both genre and voice that Cotman displays through these stories is remarkable: from magical realism to horror to epic fantasy to one story that is just so weird - he does so much, all with such impeccable writing.
I fell in love with his language on the first page and I am so excited to read more of Cotman's writing.
Dance on Saturday and Seven Watson's were my favorite stories
