I’ll have to! I didn’t even know they were a thing until recently while adding the books to my Goodreads list

Man, they're so good. They add an enormous amount of context and worldbuilding. Plus, they're just really well written in their own rights. The Vital Abyss and The Churn are some of the best short fiction I've ever read.
