My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1425031869">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Haunting, beautiful, worthwhile.<br><br>I felt that Mike Russell was in complete control of his storytelling; a sometimes distant but authoritative, Rod Serling-like guide to a bizarre universe.<br><br>There are moments in this collection of short stories that are laugh-out-loud funny and passages and observations that are actually sublime. I thought the stand out stories were The Meeting, The End of the Pier, Extraordinary Elsie and The Living Crown, though other stories also gave my mind an overdue clean and polish.<br><br>My only gripe is that I wanted to spend more time in the worlds created within each story. My answer to that is to do exactly what I did: read them all twice.
