Inside Tales from the Folly
Ten stories and three Moments, following the publisher’s contents list. Tick individual pieces as you read them. Finishing the collection does not automatically mark each story, and ticking every story does not change your collection checkbox.
Avoid a duplicate purchase: A Rare Book of Cunning Device also appears as a standalone audio story. Its checkbox is shared with the reading route.
Edition extras and later newsletter microfiction are outside this checklist. Check the contents of the edition you own; the linked publisher page describes its 2021 edition of the collection.
