Walking Alone: Short Stories by Erin Bennett, Chris Andrew Ciulla, Lauren Ezzo, Paul Michael Garcia, Hillary Huber, Traber Burns, Bentley Little, Peter Berkrot

2.0

Positive first: my favourite story was, ‘Jorgensen’s Fence’ as it had a great dark humour to it.

Niggle: a lot of the stories have open endings which can be effective however it started to feel really overused.

Big WTF: Little people / people with dwarfism and people with disabilities are only ever the villains / monsters in these stories. The biggest offender is, ‘The Feeb’ which is grotesque for all the wrong reasons. It felt like a disabled person had been chosen to do disgusting things because their disability made them more disgusting in Little’s eyes. It left a real bitter taste in my mouth. Due to the ablism, it doesn’t matter how good I thought the other stories were, I can’t recommend this book and I feel quite skeptical towards Little now too.
