Good idea and a rather strong start, but it fizzled out towards the end. Hard to rate, as I liked the music references and the second part, but the in-the-face woke stuff kind of annoyed me. Lots of unfamiliar cultural references, and the whole story wasn’t really my cup of tea. Malik - 2.5/5★Ī story about a pichal pairi who’s also a (kind of) witch, and a romance, and a pandemic. Under the guise of an investigation on the disappearance of three colonized planets, there's a debate if humanity is good or bad. Now We Paint Worlds by Matthew Kressel - 3+/5★ Well written, though it is quite impossible to imagine having sand in the mouth and breath, eat, etc, 'around' it. This whole story is a metaphor for intergenerational trauma, the way we perpetuate the (many times destructive) patterns of behaviour we see in our parents. The Wonderful Stag, or The Courtship of Red Elsie by Kathleen Jennings - 2/5★Ī VERY short short-story with a (magical) stag and a gruesome ending.īlood in the Thread by Cheri Kamei - 4/5★ It starts quite interesting, with a jury service selection, but I soon lost interest, as it seemed to me the story lost its coherency and fluency. Quite strange, but also interesting and making you wonder.Ī horror story about a documentary filmmaker of ghost stories. Questions Asked in the Belly of the World by Aliza Greenblatt - 3+/5★Īn enclosed mycological World that feeds from the creativity and artiness of its residents, through an inner voice contained in a protuberance in the back of the neck. Covered topics: coming of age, the pain of being ripped from one’s culture and not being able to return/reconnect what one must give up or sacrifice to achieve one’s dreams.Ī witty Viking story, with dragons and riddles.Ī retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Tinder Box, but this time with a much cleverer witch and a revolution. Anderson - 3+/5★Ī short story with strange and not so well defined creatures (a snake with wings, a furry mongrel, a conquering race of beasts, all speaking and having hands and fingers). How much can you give 'til you cannot give any more? The moral though seems a little different (view spoiler). Heavily reminiscent of The Giving Tree, but with three masquerades instead of the tree and instead of the child asking the tree for things, the kid's mother, who designs and sews clothes, asks for parts of the masquerades. Below I rated each of the stories individually, with a few words about impressions and/or subject. Masquerade Season by Pemi Aguda - 2.5/5★ Heavily reminiscent of The Giving Tree, but with three masquerades instead of the tree and instead of the child asking the tree for things, the kid's mother, who designs and sews clothes, asks for par I have mixed feelings about this anthology, as it has some stories that were very imaginative and well written, but also has a lot of mediocre (and worse) ones.
