I think that Alice bought this book for herself, which is definitely not a healthy thing to have done. At first I enjoyed the short stories in it, and thought that they might even represent the type of writing I would do if I were a writer. I liked the dreamy gothic element, with more of a focus on atmosphere than on plot. They reminded me of a story I wrote in high school, of an Indian in black watching New World settlers come and go.
But after awhile, I became sick of the lack of clarity in these fantastical, dreamy stories, and was very glad when I finally finished it.
