Tales from the Folly by Ben Aaronovitch
Tales from the Folly
3/5. All the Waterstones short stories plus a few extras. And published too soon – this is more of a chapbook by length, and really needed an anchor novella. However, the audio production is a well-done multi-voice effort with intros from the author (who never sounds like I expect him to). I am also bemused that he can't/won't use the word ficlet so has to invent a whole new word for what are, 100% no question, ficlets.
On the whole, a nice way to expand the universe with more non-Peter content, but like I said, published too soon, too lightweight.
