That was an interesting set of short stories. I liked some stories such as "Ghostwriter", "Time trick" but some of them was not up to my taste. The writing style is very beautiful and I hope he can extend on the story "Ghostwriter", because that was the most original idea and breathtaking beginning to the story I have every seen.

This was an interesting and creative compilation of short stories. The settings and characters were so varied that I never knew what the next story was going to be like. Some of the stories were much more graphic than I prefer, but that doesn't mean they were poorly written. One thing that started to bother me was how much the author uses ellipses in every single story. It's a really good technique to employ in certain circumstances, but at least 3/4 of the time the author used an ellipsis it could have been a period or semi-colon. It became distracting and detracted from the stories.
Overall, these stories were well-written and creative.

Overall I very much enjoyed this collection! For some of the stories, it took me a bit to get into a story but most of them I loved! I applaud the author's imagination and the mysterious worlds he created. There wasn't really a standout story for me, I found the collection to work well as a cohesive piece of art.
