This one, I'm afraid to say, didn't really do it for me.

Perhaps because this is actually a collection of short stories, rather than having one over-arching narrative, and with each of those stories seemingly 'linking in' to other comics which I haven't read?

As a result, large parts of it fell flat, and with me going "hunh? What's happened? What have I missed?" for large parts of it as well.

Not the best.

I do like short stories, and this collection, Normal Rules Don’t Apply by Kate Atkinson is exceptionally good.

It’s a collection of interconnected, quirky stories, set within different genres. Every story surprised me with how much I enjoyed it, it’s oddness, offbeat approach and sheer surrealism! I mean, I LOVE an odd story, and this collection most certainly delivered! I’m really glad I picked this book up!

Stand out story: The Void (it’s apocalyptic!).

While not blowing, it was more enjoyable than most of the short erotica stories I have read. It is definitely erotic with well written scenes, but it seems as if it could be so much more. And I wanted it to be. I liked the premise of the story

Book Favorite

"This classic collection of short stories is about a character dealing with addiction, but Johnson masterfully elucidates the "spirit" component of alcoholic "spirits": His writing is almost otherworldly in its attunement to what's below surfaces, gliding into these spaces with words that capture our most nuanced internal states"
