    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this a lot. The premise is very cool - each story was inspired by a word that was the winning word in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in recent years. I don't know if it was because of the oddness of the words, or if it's just the types of things these authors write, but the stories were really strange and wonderful -- exactly what I like to see in short stories. The kind of thing where sometimes you're not sure if you know what's going on, and you have to piece it together as you read. Some were funny, some were disturbing, some were just plain odd. Some were a little bit sci-fi, some were completely based in the reality we know, some were somewhere in between. I liked them all, and if you like short stories (or weird stories) I highly recommend this.<br/><br/> ]]></body>
