<p>Whoever recommended Rabbit Test: And Other Stories, by Samantha Mills, Thank you very much!</p><p>This is a perfect collection for readers who love speculative fiction. These stories are well-written, clever, and imaginative. And I'm glad that my library system didn't have a copy to borrow, and I had to buy it, because I would have ended up purchasing it anyway. </p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a><br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/shortstories/" rel="tag">#ShortStories</a></p>
