The highlights for me were the Louise Erdrich story, the Joe Lansdale story (amazingly, the first piece of his fiction I’ve ever read that I can recall!), and “The Blood Bay” by Annie Proulx, which was just a blast of a story to read. Also finished that A Rip Through Time ebook, which is well worth your time if you dig pulpy time travel stuff, written by some of the best in the business.

Some great stories here. Fun to see how much of your reading was E.
E-Reading generally means a lot of insomnia, since the bulk of that reading happens in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. And if I hit one that’s short, like a couple of those Pulp Ink stories, I’ll read two.
