Sachdeva is clearly a highly-skilled storyteller. Each one of these was just what you want out of a short story—a little unnerving in some way, a little bit left incomplete in the end to keep you wondering about possibilities. The plots and characters in this collection are so diverse and distinct, some taking place in the past, some in a possible present, some in different states or even countries, some in an almost futuristic sci-fi universe. All in the all, the writing is amazing and beautifully descriptive.
