"I read one of Borges’ short stories in a science-fiction magazine when I was 20, and I immediately fell in love with his style and his universe. Later on, I discovered that the short story, ‘The Babel Library,’ was part of this collection of short stories. Borges is the only South American writer all of whose books I have read and reread."

Smart writing.
The stories are powerful and diverse.
Well written cluster of short stories.
  
This is a collection of four short stories, of weddings and falling in love. Each story has amazing characters which bring there own stories to the book. These are quick short stories, which make you feel good. Lots of romance, love and swoon worthy male characters.



Highly recommended collection

This is a collection of seven short stories in manga format. Most of the stories were fine, considering the short length. My only real complaint is that the last story should not have been the last. The book should have ended maybe with one of the first few, instead. The stories were all fairly different from one another, which was nice.

Collection of short stories, some of them were very entertaining and funny, some were sweet, and some were just really bizarre.

Not a bad collection of Stephen King's short stories. I noticed a common theme in many of the stories being "Do you love?" and I can not help but think that it was intentional. I am not much of a short story person but I did like many of these. I just wish that Stephen King had explanations for all of the stories in the back instead of a select few.

The Dead Spot: stories of Lost Girls
By Angela Sylvaine
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A collection of short stories

This was a fun read. These short stories all contained a lost girl element and each one was unique. From dealing with zombees to twisted parents. Really good read.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
