All of these stories are exquisite. And reading them is like reading razors. You don't even feel the cut, then suddenly you're bleeding.

Very highly recommended.

An ARC of this book in PDF format was provided to me by the publisher, given through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program.

I was disappointed to find that there were 'short versions' of both of the novels I have already read. It probably wouldn't be as disappointing if I hadn't re-read them a few times.

There were two stories I really disliked, "Spar" -gratuitous alien sex. Okay, okay, it's obviously about what truly being alien might be, but not for me at all. Also, "Ponies" -social commentary on female bullying?

I didn't care for most of them very much.

My favourite was definitely "The Man Who Bridged the Mist," wh...more

I want very much to give this collection five stars in honor of its best stories, which constitute some of the most superb short-form writing I've read in years. But truth be told, the quality is somewhat uneven.

Not knowing anything about Kij Johnson, I developed a little fantasy as I was reading: Kij was a hotshot young writer in her early 20s, probably female, whose best stories were so good that they had instantly attracted the attention of the publishing industry. A story collection was sla...more

I purchased this book on a whim because the stories mentioned in the “blurb” looked intriguing and I was seduced by the cover.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first story, even though it was zany: “26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss”. I hadn’t realized there were so many species of monkeys. I also like zany books on the whole and had been taken with the first ten or so books in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first story, even though it was zany: “26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss”. I hadn’t realized there were so many species of monkeys. I also like zany books on the whole and had been taken with the first ten or so books in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series.

The second story here, “Fox Magic”, I enjoyed to a certain extent, although it was very odd and I was beginning to wonder if I had the right type of mentality for this book.

It was about an unnamed vixen (a fox-maiden in the book) that falls in love with her master, Kaya no Yoshifuji and the fox also feels sorry for his wife, Shikibu. Nevertheless, the fox wants this man and by magic “The magic was hard to make” her grandfather and mother turn her into a maiden: “my hair was as black and smooth as water over slate, and fell past my layered silk robes.” The rest of her family also become human.

The vixen contrives to meet Yoshifuji in the woods and he believes everything she says, because we’re using fox magic here after all. He finally “mates” with her and then she becomes pregnant. Now what could that possibly mean? Will this be a kit or a baby? It then becomes very confusing with the changes between a fox’s body into a human’s and vice versa. I found these particular scenes far too confusing and there was also a rather odd ending to that story.

I started to skim read at this time which is always a bad sign. Various stories: “Names for Water”, “The Bitey Cat”, “The Horse Raiders” I passed over until the final one, “The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among and Dogs of North Park After the Change”. Now surely I must enjoy this story? I love dogs but to me there was just a mass of incoherent wording and so I finally abandoned the book.

This is an extraordinary work, very zany and odd but just not for me. That doesn’t mean that others won’t like it; in fact I’m sure they will.

As for rating it, well really all I can say is that I abandoned it, which is a shame and I had such high expectations for this book. The paradox here though is that the content itself is very interesting but basically I just don’t like the writing style.

I see that Kij Johnson’s work is already highly acclaimed and that she has received the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and the World Fantasy and Nebula Awards, which only goes to show that we have choice in our reading. Different strokes for different folks…

Will compromise with a three, but that score really does not give it justice to the complicated emotions racing through my head right now.

Let's start with the five star review, I thought the writing was for the most part extremely well done, especially for short stories of such diverse range in subject matter. I almost wanted to write like the author! I was especially surprised with the level of writing regarding her "Japanese themed" stories, which were loosely based on what I presume Japanese legends and folklore. She wrote extremely Asian themed scenery and dialogue with a natural hand that didn't make the story sound like a martial arts film. I was entertained with her tone of talking about the most fantastical occurrences in the most natural way possible. As someone who has a tendency to write a lot about fantastical and non-realistic situations but still want it to sound like a normal, day-to-day story, I thought I finally found my "basis" writer that I could emulate and study.

Now for the one star review, I have to admit, in afterthought, her frequent use of Japan themes do offend me a lot. I am not Japanese, and Japanese culture seems as exotic to me as it would to any Caucasian Kansas lady who decides to write about it, so I would not personally know whether the stories are personally offensive in any way. However, as an Asian, I do know how personally offensive most, if not all, portrayals of "the orient" by writers and artists not part of the culture end up being. No matter how well written in a literally point of view, it is hard to escape the notion that someone from the outside is trying to fetishize a culture that is not their own. At first I almost thought that the author WAS Japanese, some way or another, but after researching her public biography, I am fairly certain she has no ties to the culture whatsoever. So really, what gives her the right to orientalize an entire people's point of view that lasted for several millennia before this lady even started researching about them?

For example, one of her short stories DID personally offend me, and this actually was a Japan themed very fictional short story about a Japanese shaman-empress who would later beget a son who would conquer the ancient Korean nation of Silla. The offensive part was that she chose to use the real ancient Korean nations of Silla and Paekjae in her story and claim a fictional history that the Japanese ruled these nations. To explain myself a bit, the factual history of these ancient nations are a bit of a hot topic amongst the three East Asian countries (China, Korea and Japan) since the boundaries of these nations later roughly become the boundaries of the modern day equivalent to these countries. To claim that the Japanese conquered the historically independent and then technical superior nation of Silla is kind of rubbing salt to the Koreans' still fresh wound of the Japanese invading Korea during the World Wars. Not only that, the the author's language implied that Silla and Paekjae were Chinese nations and not once did she explain that they were Korean.

I was actually so offended by this story located right in the middle of the book, that not only was I not able to enjoy and finish the rest of the book, but decided to write a letter explaining my thoughts to the author. (The author did reply right away trying to explain that she did not mean to offend and not once did she SAY that Silla and Paekjae were Chinese and that SHE was aware that the Japanese never historically conquered Korea during this era even though she chose not to write about it... Well, do most of the readers who read her stories know this? No. Will readers believe every single thing said in a fictional short story? Again, no, but if this is the only piece of writing the reader will read in his or her lifetime about the subject, I'm sure the notion will be pretty much settle. Not saying all fiction should be historical fact, but think about the implications if you chose to use real historical names.) I do not think any modern author would write things like this intentionally to offend and they probably actually really like the East Asian culture if they are willing to write about such things... But again, it proves my point that it is extremely difficult to NOT offend a person of that culture if you are someone from outside of that culture looking in, especially since you are not an actual part of that society and not immersed in the subtle nuances.

I mean, why write about another person's culture and history that you only superficially know about when you have a rich and fulfilling story of your own that cannot be told in the fullest by someone else?(less)

I found this collection very enjoyable. The stories were dark but light and easy to read. Johnson really knows how to give you an interesting story and then leave you disturbed or bawling by the time you've finished reading. I'm someone who enjoys dark, play-with-your-emotions kind of stories, and this definitely did just that.

While I found not all stories equally gripping, I found most of them fascinating and well-done.

Some of them could use a little more work and felt unfinished, e.g. the Horse Raiders, where I thought the ending seemed forced and a little as if the author tried to finish quickly. The same goes for "Spar", which I thought was interesting, until it suddenly ended.

Many of the stories have the potential to turn into larger worlds and Johnson does some of the best world-building I've seen.

While not truly science fiction, it does explore a lot of what-if questions framed in imaginary worlds.

It's hard to judge a collection of short stories, there are always some that work better than others or ones that particularly fit your taste. In general though one of the things I like about short stories is the freedom they allow. The author can create worlds and situations that would not be tenable in a longer form and use them to blindside us, to surprise and shock and evoke thought. This collection does that admirably. Even the weakest stories are at the very least interesting. My personal...more

Kij Johnson's writing seems carefully considered and paced, words doled out in just the right amounts, but it doesn't really shine for me in general. A case of "it's not you, it's me"?

4.5 Stars - Highly Recommended to readers who have a little of the animal in them and love stories that will turn them to mush
Pgs: 300
Publisher: Small Beer Press
Release Date: August 14, 2012

The thing with short stories? I wish the ones I liked were longer. Like full-length-novel longer.

At the Mouth of the River of Bees is bursting at the seams with great short stories, most of which I was reluctant to see end. Kij Johnson's quirky characters made their way through their semi-scifi worlds and had me chasing after them, hopeful and enthralled.

The opening story 26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss - a tale about a woman whose world is changed forever when she buys a travelling magic show involving monkeys - is by far one of my favorite (you can read it here) and sadly one of the shortest.

Magic, incidentally, appears to be the sun around which Johnson's stories orbit. It's the unifying element that's woven throughout each uniquely exquisite piece.

Fox Magic, a dead giveaway by title alone, is about a family of foxes who weave a magical spell around a wealthy man so that he might fall in love with their daughter. In My Wife Reincarnated as a Solitaire, a man's dying wife seems to transform into a rare, living bird at the moment of her death. Ponies warns about the dangers of attempting to fit in, when a young girl takes her pony to a "cutting out" party to have its wings and horn removed. In The Man Who Bridged the Mist, which is vaguely reminiscent of Stephen King's The Mist, we read about Kit and the strange things that happen during the time it takes for him to build a bridge over a river of mist that contains scary, unspeakable things. And in the final story (another personal favorite), The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs in North Park After the Change, we are introduced to a world where dogs have evolved and can speak and think as humans do and the horrible fate that change brings on.

Things are not always what they seem in this collection. Sometimes Kij lets us in on the secret from the start. We read on, knowing what the protagonist doesn't, slapping our foreheads in disbelief that they can't see what we see. Other times, I get the feeling the joke is on us, that the characters are all in on it and they're just messing with us as they go. Mostly, though, things unravel for us in time with the characters.

I remember cracking this open and reading 26 Monkeys, thinking to myself that if the rest of the stories in this collection were anything like this one, I was going to be mush by the time I got to the end. And then I read the last story, The Evolution of Trickster Stories, and it mushed me, totally and completely.

Were there stories in this collection that felt like filler and fluff? Sure. Were those stories forgotten before I had even finished reading them? Yes. But the ones that hit home really hit home HARD and will blow you away and make Kij Johnson and Small Beer Press people to keep an eye on. I promise.
