Review:
Henshin is a collection of 13 short stories that covers the everyday to the slightly sci-fi. There is a good blend of humor mixed in with the dark and serious.
I love how zany some of these stories could be then there are other stories that are very profound and thought provoking.
The author even has a few stories about his love of cats and how this mysterious cat that roams his neighborhood maybe a superhero.
I enjoyed reading this because it can be a little unexpected and odd at times but overall you get a sense of what the author was trying to convey with each story. I really like this.
