and while some of these stories do in fact slot tidily into these groupings for example - three of the stories in "the library" segment feature books in some way, some of them are less bang-on obvious. The stories are loosely gathered in groupings designated by the parts of a house: the vestibule, the library, the attic, the den, and the cellar. this book is a collection of 6 years worth of stories, and while they can loosely be grouped into an overarching stylistic similarity of "dark fantasy," they take on a number of different forms, lengths, and styles, some of which i really responded to and some which just left me a little flat. i have written reviews in which i have painstakingly reviewed each individual story, but that is such a pain in the ass, because sometimes certain stories in a collection will just leave me cold, and once you've committed to that structure of a review, it's like "AARRGGH what was i thinking?"Īnd that is why i am not going to do that with this book. Even though i have come a long way w/r/t my feelings towards short stories, i still have trouble writing reviews for them.
