good for established fans of jackson or those trying to get a taste of her work. gorgeous stories in their own right, but she is at her best within her own collections. the links between each of her stories cannot be underestimated.

Very unsettling for no obvious reason - Shirley has this wonderful way of weaving creepiness and uncanniness into her words. Ambiguous endings are also my favourite and this one did not disappoint.
