The most effective in the book for me were 'The One Who Waits', a story set on Mars about a strange lifeform, 'Some Live Like Lazarus' in which a woman narrates how she feels about a man she has known from childhood, who had promised to marry her but allowed his domineering mother to come between them, and 'A Flight of Ravens' about the shocking transformation of old friends that a man visits in the hope of finding respite. On balance I would give it a 3 star rating. ( )
