Absolutely loved this uncanny collection of short stories. Ling Ma creates depth and discomfort in her characters so well, and creeps up on you with narratives that’ll leave you thinking.
Severance (her novel) was also one of my favorite reads last year.

There’s something so satisfying about seeing local haunts and everyday places you know on screen 😌
Been in Seattle a handful of years now, and really taking in how beautiful the PNW can be through others’ eyes and stories. Also some major nostalgia goggles for 90s Seattle.
