Read in February, 2007
I think there are nine or ten stories in this collection. There are a few duds, but the last four made me feel like a bad person for almost an entire week! in a good way.

carey might be my favorite living writer -- but his early short stories are even better than his novels, especially if you like bleak, wry surrealism.

"Do You Love Me?" is probably my absolute favourite short story.
