Reviews

I was uncomfortable and disappointed.


(2.5 stars)

From the description, I was expecting “something of the supernatural”. Aside from some seemingly indirect references to “supernatural” things, these stories were fairly run of the mill in my opinion. One positive(?), several stories showed such an uncomfortable (to me) amount of racism and ethnic bashing that I realized the progress society has made in treating people more like humans and less like animals. I’m grateful for that.
