Autobiography of a Corpse

About half of the eleven stories in Autobiography of a Corpse are ingeniously entertaining. The others are not as "mind-bending/spellbinding" as they are marketed to be. Nevertheless, when Krzhizhanovsky is on point, he proves that he can take practically any uninteresting concept and weave it into a fascinating tale that goes far beyond what your standard wordsmith might come up with.

Standouts:
The runaway fingers
The unbitten elbow
Bridge over the Styx
Thirty pieces of silver
