This really does run the gamut, from hoeny to horrifying and back. Precious and Fisherman were both really good, but overall very interesting concepts here. Cool integration of traditional African folklore/legends, as well.

Very interesting story collection with impressive depth and breadth of material. These stories were often deeply unsettling and totally immersive. Some of the pacing felt odd, but otherwise really really good. Definitely worth a read.
