Status Updates From The Lure of Devouring Light

Just finished the long-form story included in this collection, "Far From Streets." The imagery is still on my mind the day after, but after an exciting and interesting build-up, a late-story swerve to an ambiguous conclusion kind of left me a bit cold. This author's imagination is wild, though. I love the extreme places these stories have gone, but at times it feels a bit heavy-handed.
