A macabre collection of tales, I was not expecting to enjoy something in the horror genre but I found myself enjoying it very much. Brooding and dark rather than scary and shocking, this book intersperses fantasy elements effortlessly. It also has a strong feminist undercurrent without being preachy. Recommended.
