Story 4: lost
I knew from the first mention of mushrooms this would be an ambergris reference. Only to be delighted at what transpired. I wish it was longer but I understand why it isn’t.

Story 9: the goat variation
The president of the United States goes to read a story book to children at a school in September of 2001.
9 months previously after his inauguration he was told about the constitutional state secret policy of rounding up and imprisoning psychics in vats to analyse their visions - they all say the same thing - something bad will happen in September.
LOVEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD ITTTTTTT

Story 8: Errata
Jeff Vandermeer, drunk, divorcee, and failed writer is paid to travel to Siberia and write a short story that is just errata from a Sci Fi story magazine.

Story 6: fixing Hanover
Oh I loved this one so much
The twist, the flashback structure
An absolute masterclass in how to use the form of a short story to tell a complete emotional arc for your characters

Story 3: Sonoria
A man hires a PI to find a country that doesn’t exist. The only lead he has is a postage stamp he found in his parents belongings.
Lots of promise, weird and creepy, and then it just ends? Where is the rest of it?

Story 1: the third bear
Great spooky monster in the woods terrorising a village story.
The monster is a borne reference?! (I already know a later story is so if this is a collection of borne stories I’ll be very happy)
