DNF after Worship What She Bleeds (about 1/3 of the way through, plus I skipped ahead and read Birthright). Read a total of 8 stories, out of 18. This collection just isn't for me. The stories are too short, there's little development of the characters/plot (with the exception of a couple stories), and the endings left me cold and disappointed. There were some good ideas here, but I wish she'd fleshed them out into longer short stories. One of the stories was TWO PAGES. I need a lot more than that to be satisfied. I skipped ahead to Birthright because it was called a novelette in the front matter of the book, so I thought it would be more developed in its length. It wasn't, unfortunately, it was just more of the same over a few more pages. I can respect the ideas behind some of the stories (others just made no sense from start to finish) but ultimately, I was disappointed that EVERY SINGLE STORY I read had a vague, unsatisfying ending. That's the main reason I'm DNFing the book.
