Alicia's Prayer: OK, but dull and doesn't really go anywhere
The Matreshka: OK, but unresolved
Branson Rebellion: OK, but too much for a short story
Irregular Verbs: Pretty good, but bad resolution and a bit sad
Under the Red Sun: Sad, and I didn't like it
Rosemary, for Rembrance: OK, but very sad
The Green Man: Weird, but not in a way I liked.
After Midnight: Very sad Cinderella reimagining
Mosquito Story: Sad, and I didn't like it
Why the Balloon Man Floats Away: Weird, but not in a way I liked.
Dead Sea Fruit: Sad and weird, but not in a way I liked.
Exposure: Sad and unresolved
Ticket to Ride: Sad
Mushroom Sprouting in Your Footsteps Like Tears: Interesting, but I didn't like it
During the Dance: OK. An attempt to have a happy ending to a very sad tale
Bizarre Cubique: A noble attempt, but I didn't like it.
In short, I didn't really like any of the stories. Looking back, Editions 1, 2 and 3 all only got 3* reviews. This doesn't even get that. I clearly don't share the tastes of the editors. All discarded. If I eve run out of somethig to read, I might give them ab=nother go.
