Because Fancies and Goodnights is an anthology, it does not have a single overarching plot. Instead, the collection explores a central theme: the chaotic, ironic, and often disastrous consequences of human desire.
Collier drops ordinary people into bizarre or supernatural situations. He uses a very polite, elegant writing style to describe shocking, cruel, or hilarious twists. Many of his stories function like dark fairy tales where characters get exactly what they wish for—and deeply regret it.
