It feels weird to shove a short book in at the end of the year, but I'm not doing it on purpose. I just ran out of renewals at the library so I figured I'd read it before returning it on Tuesday.
Fairy tales, man. They're WEIRD.
Women named Kelly telling fairy tales seem to be winners for me this year, although this one was more creeping horror in the Midwestern gothic style.
And I'm old enough that I keep getting stuck between the girl and the woman, the flight and the ground. Who do I identify with and where are my dreams?
This book, for all that it is short, is woven of barbed wire.
