Reviews

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great short story collection of one of the most talented and prolific female writers. I'm a big fan of her writing. Almost any detail can be made into an alluring story. I like her stories about cats and her depection of Ewerton, a horrific fictious town in the USA. Very powerful stuff and highly recommended!
