Shelf Life

Every short story book has a mix, as it should. You'll like some, not others, so on the whole I find them incredibly hard to rate. I enjoyed quite a few of the stories here, my favourite being Pixel Pixies by Charles de Lint, but then I'm partial to the type of story he wrote. Others were interesting, but not my personal cup of tea, but still worth a read. I think overall I enjoyed the theme of fantastical bookstores for sure and the mix presented was a good smorgasbord of weird fiction, sci fi and fantasy. If you enjoy any of those genres, you'll likely find something you enjoy and the others will expand your reading horizons a bit.
