i'm getting really into short story collections at the moment, i think my ADHD brain likes them because they require less focus, i can easily read one or two stories in a sitting, put it down when my brain starts to wander, and come back to it again later to read a few more. it's really improved how many books i can get through.
i've read all of these except for Vampires Never Get Old (and i'm only partway through Salt Slow but loving it so far), and would highly recommend any of these. Jackalope Wives probably has my favourite stories, but two of the ones in Rain Hare made me absolutely bawl my eyes out, so i guess they would be my top picks.
and if anyone has any recommendations of their own let me know! as you can probably tell from the list, i like horror, fantasy, historical fiction, and queer stuff.
