The stories collected straddle all sorts of genres. Each take place in their own universes&#8212;realms far stranger than our own, or perhaps only slightly askew of our reality&#8212;with their own sets of rules, their own logic. There&#8217;s plenty of humanity here, however, and that&#8217;s what gives them their power.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out of the collection, the standouts for me were:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cSpeaking to Skull Kings\u201d<\/strong>&#8212;The collection&#8217;s title story features a strange and almost alien world seemingly in the throes of post-apocalyptic devastation. In fact&#8212;not to crib too much from the King of Horror&#8212;this story takes place in a world that&#8217;s \u201cmoved on.\u201d There&#8217;s a wonderful blend of fantasy and just the hint of science fiction in this, and the terrible secret of just WHAT the skull kings are, looming at the story&#8217;s end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cA Guide to Etiquette and Comportment for the Sisters of Henley House\u201d<\/strong>&#8212;A classic supernatural tale about the difficulty of letting go, told in a way which doesn&#8217;t feel derivative at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cThe Rondelium Girl of Rue Marseilles\u201d<\/strong>&#8212;A powerful and moving science fantasy story (a term the late Ray Bradbury used to describe his collection <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Martian Chronicles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and I have a feeling he would&#8217;ve loved this story) about the price of hubris, of the desperate lengths people will go to create something beautiful, no matter what the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cThe Ghosts of Blackwell, Maine\u201d<\/strong>&#8212;Another great supernatural story, again featuring the classic theme of holding onto something too tightly, but flipped from the perspective of the living holding onto the dead. A gentler version of John Mantooth&#8217;s wonderful short story \u201cShoebox Trainwreck\u201d in which the dead don&#8217;t haunt the living, the living haunt the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cThe Heart-Machine\u201d<\/strong>&#8212;Another fantastical post-apocalyptic tale about a world in which emotion has died and people can only experience feeling through mystical\/technological means, featuring once again a classic theme of holding too tightly to those we love, and the lengths we go to keep those we love close to us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cThe City Dreams of Bird-Men\u201d<\/strong>&#8212;Another wonderful genre blend, featuring a city plagued by Darkness, a city whose people dream of their saviors the bird men, and the high price one pays for working magic&#8212;even if it&#8217;s to save one&#8217;s own people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cHungry Ghosts\u201d<\/strong>&#8212;Probably the most wrenching story of the collection, in it&#8217;s own way. On one level, another classic ghost story, of a family condemned to eternally feed innocent souls to hungry ghosts, and the teenage daughter who desperately wants to break the cycle of madness she&#8217;s been born into&#8230;but when she&#8217;s wronged in a very relevant and social media way, she gives into the family \u201ctradition\u201d gladly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this collection, Emily Cataneo offers a brand of fantastic and weird fiction that belongs entirely to her and no one else.
