Beneath the bonfire

The writing is good, and the stories all have decent characters, but the collection as a whole left no real impact. The two exceptions for me are “In Western Counties” and “Train People Move Slow”, at the end of the book. I enjoyed most of the book, and I think it's definitely worth a read. But a lot of the stories, as well-written as they were, just didn't stick with me like I hoped they would.
