Just finished “The Whimper of Whipped Dogs”. Very dark especially in comparison to the first 4 I read, but very good all the same. It reminded me a lot of both the poem “First They Came” by Martin Niemöller and also the eyes of T. J. Eckleberg in The Great Gatsby. All in all it was quite horrifically realistic and I enjoyed it

Just finished “Eidolons”. I got more of a vibe than an actual understanding, but it was still very good. Not sure if it makes full sense or if it’s just going over my head to be honest.

Just finished “How’s the Night Life on Cissaldia” that was funny as fuck. Genuinely enjoyed. Very out there. My favourite bit was the shitty writer joke.

Djinn, No Chaser was just entertaining. The ending was alright. It was good enough, but nothing mind-bending like a lot of the other stories in here

I really liked “How Interesting: A Tiny Man” and happened to read it right after visiting the Mary Shelley Frankenstein museum. I really enjoyed both endings, again the endings really made the whole story

Just finished “I’m Looking for Kadak” it was good and entertaining, but not super shocking or captivating like the other stories. I also couldn’t be arsed to look up all the Yiddish so some of it was lost on me

Just finished “The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World”
I enjoyed the structure and trying to work out what was happening, but that said I don’t entirely understand what the hell was going on

Just finished “Paladin of the Lost Hour” and I did really like it. It was slightly cliche but again I really liked the ending, and I’m glad Billy got closure. The commentary on equality was also very well done despite being subtle
