Just when I have decided that short stories are not my thing, I read a few books of them that are brilliant. This is one of them.
Oyeyemi's writing is so good- it flows so well, and her ideas are mind-blowing. These stories are dark, and have magical elements. They are slightly intertwined, but each story stands alone, as well. My favorite was told by a puppet. A creepy one.
This book isn't for everyone, but this author is becoming a must read for me!
