Every Angel is Terrifying, by Jonathan Kessel
I'm never quite sure how to react to stories that are mostly horror. Every Angel is Terrifying is probably a good one, part of Jonathan Kessel's Baum Plan for Financial Independence collection. The macguffin in it is a wish-granting cat, though it would be wrong to say it is the focus. The focus is a cold-blooded killer who seems to be trying to go straight. Way hard to do, really. And he doesn't understand the cat. Well, it's interesting to read, so I will give it 3 stars.
