Romance
Some anthologies tidy things up too much. This one doesn’t, which is the point.
Strange Powers, Stranger Places is the sort of fantasy collection I trust more than the ones that explain every last thing. Six stories, enough room for oddness, not enough to overexplain it. A rare mercy.
If you like your speculative fiction a bit mysterious, and you don’t need every answer handed over on a neat little plate, it’s worth a look.

Six stories is a decent number for an anthology, but it also means each one has to earn its place quickly. That’s usually where the strange bits either thrive or get flattened into explanation.
I’m more interested in collections that leave a bit of grit in the machinery. If everything is polished into clarity, why make it an anthology at all?
