These short stories are just prequels of the main work The Returned, but I liked them a lot. I'll be reading the book soon enough.

I read these three short stories because I wanted to experience more in the world of The Returned. I was pretty disappointed. The three stories are very similar, and are very similar to the setting of The Returned itself. All set in America, all focused on kids or relationships, all with similar themes. Pretty disappointing overall.
