The Wood-Sprite

The impact of industrialism on creativity

First Love

This one was really cute. It almost feels out of place with the other stories. I expected something bad to happen.

The Seaport

Maybe I’m just tired, but I have no idea what just happened.

A Forgotten Poet

These stories all seem to fizzle out at the end.

Revenge

Why that ending? Is it a warning against superstition?

The Dragon

An ancient dragon would rather die than deal with industrialization/capitalism

Easter Rain

I’m definitely missing some Russian history for context.

A Nursery Tale

I was waiting for something horrible to happen to the incel and it didn’t :(

The Thunderstorm

I didn’t care for the second short story. I just didn’t find it that interesting.

Details of a Sunset

I liked the first short story. I figured toward the beginning that he was an unreliable narrator. Not sure how much of the story was unreliable
