I'm glad I read it, but I found very few of the short stories here very interesting. "Stories of the fantastic" in this case mostly means some form of light fantasy or magical realism. Only one story ("Pink Lemonade") was solidly in a Sci-Fi genre.
Took me forever to finish because I prefer reading long-form fiction than short stories, so I would just dip into this from time to time.
