For me, it really helps when the theme is transparent. Also, with certain authors, I find myself caught up in their world so that even when the characters and plots are completely different, there's a common thread--that keeps me hooked in.

I bet you'll like them! Serena: Thanks :) Swapna: Thanks :) Jenny: I have yet to see a bad review of this collection – I highly recommend it because even if you think you don’t like short stories, these are very in-depth in terms of character development.

I am usually resistant to reading short story collections, but I love these titles! And I am always attracted to stories that remind me of Tarot cards - your description of these stories' theme makes me think of the Tower, one of my favorite cards.
