A diverse group of stories that are so different yet all have something to commend them. Once I started this book I had to keep going back to it and was saddened when done. I won’t go into detail about individual stories as that is already perfectly spelled out in the intro details before you purchase. Needless to say, go ahead and purchase, well worth it.

In one story a guy begins to notice that household objects have godlike powers. But he still is an atheist in spite of coming to call on the dark supernatural powers of washing detergent and the like. His wife invites her boss and His Husband over for a meal. We get about four sentences back to back reminding us that the man has a husband. Although the protagonist has killed a hamster at this point and become a villain, he still manages to smile and the reader is told he would really like the burly gay men if he was in a better frame of mine. Virtue signaling is hard when you have a heavy conscience. Woke, politically correct horror. *Some* good stories.
