Review: This World is Full of Monsters by Jeff Vandermeer

A writer finds a letter on his doorstep which is the beginning of an invasion by otherwordly creatures starting with a story-creature.  Filled with evocative images and a very strong sense of surrealism and wonder.  It is life and death and transformation and becoming and growing and all sorts of wonderful and terrifying things. This is a Tor.com original story.  To me it is a perfect example of how you can tell a complete story in a short story and not be needing more.  It truly let's you mind wander and ask questions and just wonder.  And yeah - be creeped out as well.

      It took me a bit of thinking to do the review because it is so odd of a story :)
