really liked it
bookshelves: 2017, favourite-author, purely-for-pleasure, short-stories, sandy-s-reading-retreat

The cover says this book is terrifying and delightful I don't know about terrifying, but it is mostly a delightful read.

Framing a collection of short stories, three of which had never previously been published are two novellas, The Cancer Cowboy Rides and The reflecting Eye which features Charlie Parker.

There were a couple of short stories near the beginning of the collection I did not particularly like, but the rest were really good, particularly the Inkpot Monkey. In my opinion, the two novellas were the highlights of this collection.

A good read.

I picked this up as a paperback in a charity shop Gail.......

Christine Nice review, Sandy. Would this be a good introduction to the author?


message 3: by Jessica (new) - added it

Jessica Abramson Christine - the best introduction to this author (in my opinion) is “The Book if Lost Things�!!
