Take as given my usual "short stories are hard to review" kvetch. All of these were strange and compelling in their own weird ways, although some of them stood out more than others.
What felt like it ran through all of them as a theme was the unicorn not as purity, but as the loss of something.
No paradise except the paradise lost.
