visited this bookstore and was so cool to both explore some of the work the shop does and some local writers’ work! i am not frequently a short story reader but now i’m thinking i should be. i liked seeing how each story built its world and how much they conjured up so strongly in just a short span of pages. many stories of everyday people, many with elements of dystopia or bizarre fantasy in thought provoking ways. glad i read this
