Like being swept along by a waterfall of many cascades. The fascination and satisfaction of passing from one room to the next. There is lucid discovery in each of the stories. Their slightly faded or broken or antique art direction adds weight and mystery to ordinary objects, like someone opening the attic of their deep past to ask the myth of their own origin.

VERY compelling, sympathetic.

I hate when reviewers pick out favorite stories -- I feel it skews one's own reading. That said, 'Alice Falling' is a dynamic tumbling, a perpetually unfolding origami, its paper printed on three or four sides.

DO read this!
