Loading... Meet Me in the Moon Room: Stories (2001)by Ray Vukcevich
   New Weird Fiction (48) No current Talk conversations about this book.  mjhunt | Jan 22, 2021 |  A large collection of short surrealist fiction - not my usual taste, but there are some interesting things in here. My favorites were "Finally Fruit," about a woman who becomes a monster; "Pretending," about a group of atheists who decide to pretend that one of their group is a ghost, and "Whisper," a pretty classic creepypasta-ish story about a guy who tape records himself sleeping to prove he doesn't snore and catches something else.

The publisher, Small Beer Press, was having a before-Christmas sale and this one looked interesting, even though I don’t read a lot of “fantastic literature” or whatever the genre of this is. Some stories were too strange for me (which is my way of saying that I didn’t understand them) but overall this is one of those books that you read and it fills you with gratitude. I laughed out loud a lot, which is hard to do this time of year especially. So thank you, Mr. Vukcevich, and when you get a moment please write some more short stories.

For the most part I didn't find much emotional connection, the tales were mostly about stuff happening and the exploration of quirky ideas. If there had been some more emotion or feeling or humanity them I would have given more stars. (
