Lmao yeah you’re right. I legit thought the movie was make from the entire book (can you blame from from the cover art though!) and was so fucking confused when it started to talk about the tower of Babylon in the very beginning. First I thought that okay maybe it’ll be tied up to the “main story” at some point but after maybe 30 pages I started to think that ah shit please don’t be another (bought Books of blood by Barker and was soooo disappointed that it was a collection of short stories) book of short stories. But it was. Just finished tower of Babylon. It was interesting but man, short stories really don’t do it for me.
I think I’ll just skip to The Story of Your Life and read it and then think about reading the others. Thankfully I did not buy the book, only loaned it.
