Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M. Valente, 103 pages
Well, Regan did a great write-up of this a few months back, so I'll just direct you there instead of re-writing what she wrote. I enjoyed the tension and creepy atmosphere of the book, though I'm not quite sure what I thought of it as a whole.
What does absolutely astound me is Valente's talent as a literary chameleon. It's hard to believe that the same person wrote this AND The Refrigerator Monologues AND The Past is Red AND The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making AND Space Opera, all of which are great in their own way. I never know what she's going to do next, and that's fantastic.
