The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night

I enjoyed the reading experience of this short collection as much as Homegoing and that's why I would also rate this collection a 4 and a half star read. This collection is an intoxicatingly dark and compelling series of magical realism short stories. Jen Campbell is a talented writer that creates characters that seem to get under your skin and creates stories that leave you with many questions and much to muse upon long after you've finished the collection. This collection was so easy to read I pretty much finished it in one evening. This collection has restored my faith in the short story genre as well as magical realism. A pleasure to read and I am so excited to see what fiction Jen Campbell will write in the future!!
