Doomsdays

A good weird collection, but not very well named... Only a few of the stories are about world-ending scenarios. The description tries to skirt this by saying “Every hour is someone's private armageddon.”, but that doesn't work for me. We all have our things that we nitpick, and there's one of mine.

Every story is very well written, but when I say weird... I really mean it. Sometimes it was hard to decipher what is going on. The author is great at creating bizarre settings. As usual in weird stories, not knowing what is really going on leads to a great amount of lingering creepiness but also frustration and annoyance since you never get to truly know.

A lot of the stories have repeating themes. Being a killer running in the family genes and factory workers or just the common working man are the main ones. Oh, and the color blue. Usually, when a color is mentioned it is blue. Blue blue blue blue blue. There was still a wide variety of stories with these things in mind.

So, even though most of the stories aren't about doomsdays, and the characters often act wildly over the top and don't always seem realistic, and the weirdness is hard to make sense of sometimes this was a good read. The imagination and great writing make up for it.
