The Collectors: Stories by A.S. King

3.0

As someone who is also a bit of a collector, I had to check out this anthology! And the introduction to this collection by A.S. King really made a lasting impression on me, but this also raised my expectations a little too high for the stories that followed.

• Play House by Anna-Marie McLemore: 4 stars
• The White Savior Does Not Save the Day by Randy Ribay: 3 stars
• Take It From Me by David Levithan: 3 stars
