4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining collection of short stories, Mar 26 2004
Michael Swanwick has consistently impressed me with his imagination in both his novels and short stories. Here we have a collection of miscellaneous very short work of varying quality. The title story was particularly fun given its original appearance - I could easily visualize Swanwick reciting it from atop a trash can. Along with some interesting essays on various subjects, there are several groups of stories fitting certain criteria which show the author's ability to write about absolutely anything. See his Periodic Table of Science Fiction for more of this. I didn't like The Mask as much as the expanded version, perhaps because I read this one second.

While only a few stories here reach the quality of his longer fiction, Swanwick's creativity and sense of humor shine throughout.
