A rather experimental but thoughtful short story collection that at times brings up more questions than it gives answers (which is exactly what a short story should do) It also features the post apocalyptic science fiction classic ā€œa boy and his dogā€

I think his short stories shine brighter than his longer stuff. His essay ā€œThe lucky dog pet storeā€œ is also very impactful. I revisit that one when I need to hype myself up/prepare to sacrifice. That’s really the one I recommend. But ā€œthe hanging strangerā€ is fun and spooky. It covers my greatest fear (loved ones being replaced) but adds another really sinister element. It’s unexpectedly biblical.

This one is a short story by Harlan Ellison— I’ve only read it once, but that was enough bc it still makes me feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

I made it for a friend, inspired by his cat Hazel.
