A collection of short, dark stories of the thought-provoking and tragic kind; not the eerie and suspenseful kind. I believe I'm not proper target audience to really appreciate them. I just don't quite dig them.

These stories, while short, should be read separately I think. Give it time in between. They're good for a bit of a think.

Trill - 3/5 - good prose, but had some awkward grammar; it had a dark twist but I already expected halfway through
Seed - 3/5 - an interesting story with a big twist about what's considered “private”, but sadly ends a bit too soon with what I felt was a dangling story
Seeing Stars - 3/5 - a dystopian future with an addiction theme; I kinda liked it
Animal Instincts - 2/5 - a story of love between flawed individuals, but the ending was very odd and confusing to me
One-Woman Town - 2/5 - another dystopic setting, but I don't think it did well as a short story; just lots of weird ideas
Forced Expiration - 3/5 - a very interesting take on a subject matter that's very real
The Lure of Dangerous Women - 2/5 - it's an ok presentation of a mythical creature, but the subject matter didn't hook me in at all
