This was such a great short story collection. I loved the varying genres of all the stories and how 5ey each drew on different mythologies and folklore. There were a few stories in here that I found a little boring but those were definitely outweighed by the great ones. Or Perhaps Up and Your Two Better Halves were phenomenal. I would totally recommend this collection.
