This was a sort of uneven collection; there were some strong pieces (my favorite was "Red") but there were also some...less strong pieces. The last story dragged on far too long and seemed to pull the book down with it. But overall this collection introduced me to some new authors I definitely want to check out in the future
I've been savouring this collection, starting with the intriguing cover and moving through each heart-wrenching but beautiful story. When I find a writer who challenges me to step up my own creative game, I take note. Marshall is one of these writers. Her ability to draw you in and disturb you to your core is impressive. And I look forward to reading more of her work in the future.
Surreal and bizarre, these short stories plumb the depths of loss, family, and relationships. Favorites include: "The Hanging Game", "The Santa Claus Parade", and "We Ruin the Sky".

The basic plot of this book is - “... people with J12 are dying-but when they do, biologically, the bodies keep going, they keep—“. “Changing.” It’s an intellectual ‘zombie’ story, with climate change as a part of the tale. And it’s well written and kind of deep! For 150 pages or so. Then, right past the halfway point, toward the end of part two, the ‘change’ happens, and the book goes ka-thunk. Even with the biological explanation given on these pages, I call BS to the whole 'nymph' development. Total BS. All the good will that the author had bought in me went flying out the door. Really, nymphs? C'mon...
p.s. - I LOVED reading “The Paper Bag Princess” to my daughter when she was young! Special to see it mentioned in here!
