A strange bird-like creature flies into a boy's room and regurgitates stories into his mouth that make up this collection. I thought it was a pretty cool and original way to start one of these.

The short stories were incredibly creative and feature social media, twitter mostly, the magic of childhood, a terrible future where people called ‘Gamers' do awful things to the lower class, and even a few that were wholesome and a nice change of pace. The one with a girl who gains photoshop powers in real life was fun and gruesome...

Some of them are pretty vague and don't leave you with many conclusions but overall I enjoyed the whole of this collection. It was just so imaginative and out there in a good way. When the bird flies away to rest satisfied so too will most of the readers I'd bet.

After the short stories section ends it includes a few essays by the author. I'll just be honest and say I had no interest in those and didn't read them.

This was great and is an easy recommendation to make for someone looking for some weird tales.
