Short story collection following the strange inhabitants of a neighbourhood where various fantastical events happen. This was a charming short read that I completed in one sitting. There are 40 bitesize stories that range from weird Ghibli-esque to speculative fiction and magical realism.
Loosely connected, the vignettes follows our main unnamed narrator and several characters reappear throughout these stories.
The author did a good job setting the story and surreal atmosphere in such a short space, though I wished some stories were explored more or longer and alternately some stories I didn't care for.
Overall a quick read that should suit anyone who likes weird and magical stories.
