review 1: I'm a huge fan of Daryl Gregory's novels and was very excited to read this collection of his stories. I found it fascinating and entertaining, if a bit uneven. None were less than good, a couple of the stories were, in my opinion, stellar. Mr. Gregory has the ability to change his style of writing so that each novel, each story is quite different and unique. I personally find that to work better in long form, giving me more time to adapt to the style and engage with the characters. In a couple of the short stories in Unpossible, I didn't feel I had enough material to engage with the characters or appreciate the author's point. Still, I truly enjoyed this collection and look forward to whatever Mr. Gregory writes next.
review 2: A whole-year collection! I
... morehave loved Gregory's novels, and wanted to simply tuck in to this, as if a meal. Instead--what fortitude and willpower!--I spread it out, nibbling away each month or so. I love how open to risky innovation the author is, but , for all the terrific riffing on tropes and conventions across the spectrum of speculative fiction, Gregory consistently centers on strong characters. A very good writer--try these out, or circle back after you try out his novels. less

A strong collection of short stories by an author who's adept at both science fiction and fantasy.
