What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours

A linked story collection shot through with a theme of keys, this one sounded promising. I read the first story in its entirety and enjoyed it. But I kept thinking I was missing something. Then into the second story I persevered for at least a dozen pages before skimming to the end because I had no idea what was going on. Tried the third story but quickly lost patience. Nope.

This is a surreal and interesting collection of short stories. The characters from each story intertwine and appear across stories, and there's the recurring appearance of various keys that play a significant role. Overall, the stories feel like feverish dreams.

Excellent collection of short stories with fully developed worlds and characters.
