A Thing of Rags and Patches

by Catt Kingsgrave

This is a book of fireside fancies, mythos, monsters. Stories that peer sidelong at fairy tales, urban myths, history and pop culture, alongside poetry that leads convention in a quickstep around the room, then steals its wallet. You'll find Devils and princesses who don't want your sympathy, but who demand your understanding. You'll address the perils of parenting, whether you're a vampire or a rock star. You'll meet folks who trade in books, in secrets, in navigational coordinates, and in monsters. You'll witness the consequences of leaving some doors shut too long, and the cost of opening others at all.

I enjoy reading Catt's writing. I never know what the journey is going to entail but I am always eager to jump on board for the ride. This is a journey that takes you hither and yon and doesn't disappoint.
