Well, I was interested to see what's trending in Short stories, so I downloaded this collection to my Kindle. Moist of the winners are well-known: Junot Diaz, Mark Haddon, Sarah Hall, Ali Smith. But these stories did nothing for me. Sorry, but I really have no interest in a teenager's affair with an older neighbor, two kids who confiscate a gun and shoot a deer, a badger hunt in Wales, or anything involving sci-fi/fantasy. I won't be reading the subsequent collections in this series. ( )
