I bought a used copy of this in 2023 and I'm so annoyed that I didn't read it sooner. This collection of stories is so gorgeously written. There's scifi, dark fantasy and horror in these stories. Themes that appear multiple times in these stories are family, birds, grief, loss, and mirrors. Although I spent more time admiring the beautiful cover art, the exquisite writing in these stories had me captivated. I'm eager to read more from Georgina Bruce. :)
