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.
Late afternoon. Find your cat and lay down next to them. Kiss their little head. Close your eyes next to their furry little face. Drift into a dreamless sleep that is pure bliss. Awaken to screaming meows for dinner.
