Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

I read this together with a friend in an attempt to create a small (2 person) book circle. We read a couple of novels, then called each other on the phone and talked for an hour (repeat every two or three weeks until read). It worked great! Not only did we manage to see dimensions of the stories otherwise lost; we also expanded our respective literary universes through free associations to other authors and books, as well as movies, music, real life experiences and so on.

Oh, yes, the stories, you ask. How did I like them? Some were good, others not so great. One or two were really funny and interesting. And I will carry certain triggers and disturbances with me for a long time.

In a good way, mind you!

Great short stories.
Many themes, so no every tale will appeal to everyone.
Top favorite is the genie story from the October chapter from a Year of Tales.

Para whovianos, como un servidor, el relato del Doctor ya es razón suficiente para la lectura de este recopilatorio. Por lo demás, una buena selección con algún que otro momento memorable.
