I am thrilled to share this story with readers. In the words of characters Aunt Mattie and Aunt Tilda, it's "Matilda meets the Munsters". 'Matilda' and all the works by Roald Dahl are favorites of mine and this book is a tribute to this great author

| A good horror story to make the reader think - what would you do for the perfect life? Could you justify doing bad to have a good life? A bit of a slow start but about 40% in it took off. Interesting characterization and dark descriptions in an other ...more | |

| Really well written account of the lead up and aftermath to the stock market crisis of 1929. Sorkin goes into great depths of the many (!) players involved. Deep, interesting, and a big tome. | |

The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey
by Kathleen Kaufman (Goodreads Author) |
|
| An interesting story focused on the 19th century fascination with seances and convening with spirits. The dual timeline works well through the vehicle of mesmerism. I found the pacing a little slow through the middle. Overall a satisfying read. | |
