A solid collection of short stories. They're incredibly Chicagoland centric, down to earth and just a little quirky. And I felt the collection got better towards the end (Winged Attack, Christmas Spirit and Scream in the Dark were all really great).

15 stories and every one of the supporting characters lacks any kind of depth.

Some stories made me laugh outloud, others made me cringe a little and one (the wolf attack story) made me scratch my head and go "huh, that was a weird one."

Very enjoyable. Kudos Johnathon. Hope the book tour went well!

I'd give it a 4.5! At first the stories seemed familiar of every quirky short story collection I've read recently, but the further along I went, they became unique and resonated with a voice clearly Messinger's own. Cool :)

I also just love featherproof books and their concepts of what the book should be.
