The Ghost Variations: One Hundred Stories by Kevin Brockmeier

3.0

I finally finished this book. As much as I was looking forward to reading it, this dragged on for so long. There were some interesting enjoyable stories but unfortunately it was all in between stories that lacked and I skimmed through them. They’re all very short stories, taking 2-3 pages at most, so that makes the lacking stories easy to skim but sadly makes you wish the interesting ones to be even if slightly longer.

The most interesting ones for me were these:
- 4: Milo Krain
- 6: A Long Chain of Yesterdays
- 8: Wishes
- 9: How to Play
- 14: Elephants
- 16: Many Additional Animals
- 18: A Blight on the Landscape
- 28: The Whirl of Time
- 32: The Phantism vs. The Statue
- 34: Passengers
- 37: The Prism
- 74: Knees
- 76: The Eternities
- 82: Unseeable, Untouchable
- 96: Dusk and Other Stories (I love this one a lot)
- 97: Telephone

Overall it was an alright read.
