Show More one of the most even collections I've read. Also provided is a link to the author's website where you can download The Price, one of the stories, that's read by the author and there's a short interview also included at the back of the book. There is an introduction, which also contains a story, where the author describes how and why he wrote each of the entries. Never reading more than two or three at a time so I don't get bored of the style and feel this worked well in this instance. I've read this collection, like I usually do with short stories, over the period of a few weeks. The original will never be looked at in the same light again if you read this. Snow, Glass, Apples is an alternate take on the story of Snow White. Murder Mysteries is a tale of angels and set around the time of Creation. The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch has the circus coming to town. Troll Bridge has a troll under a bridge and there's a boy who doesn't want to be it's next meal. There are almost 40 pieces of work in this book so I will not go through them all but just highlight a couple of favourites.Ĭhivalry is a tale about an old lady finding the Grail in a charity shop. Show More the entries containing scenes of a sexual or horrific nature.
