I received a free Kindle copy of this book via the Goodreads Giveaways program and would like to thank anyone who had a hand in making that possible!
3.5 stars, rounded up. I enjoyed this collection of science fiction/horror short stories! They were very original, interesting and entertaining! As with most collections, there were a couple of stories that I didn't care for as much as the others and a few standout stories with the rest falling somewhere in between. I gave the majority of the stories 4 stars and the standouts for me were "Broken Heart, Will Travel", "Troll" and "In Our Youth".

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.
An anthology of slightly creepy stories, most of them with themes of loneliness and anomie.

Longer stories, which I like. Usually as soon as a short story gets good, it ends. These had more meat to them.
They weren't all stellar, but they were better than most.
Received via Goodreads giveaway for nothing more than an honest review.
