baielleebooks's review
Sadly surprised that I didn't vibe with this collection! The short stories contained strong emotional themes; longing to be in someone else's present, the faraway fantasy lands we create in times of loneliness etc. But, mostly, the stories themselves didn't hold much meat on the bone for me. The Man on the Stairs and This Person were the two I did enjoy.

Thus was a tough read. The content has topics that I usually stay away from as I prefer to read for enjoyment. The authors writing and my curiosity kept me reading. It the stories were longer I doubt I would have kept reading.
