The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela...
Five Little Poops Out of Five Little Poops *****/*****
The road to hell is paved with people who don’t like this book. TOO MUCH REPETITION AND TOO MUCH “FEMINISM?” I chortle in your direction.
I am truly, honestly, sick of fairy-tale-redo’s coming at me so hard they’re lounging in my morning coffee. Thankfully, I consider “The Bloody Chamber” in a...

Just to name a few: gondola chases, miracles, prisons, people named Tite Barnacle, dog murders, crazy exes, and I’m about 99% sure this book had lesbians. And DICKENS. I mean, we all loved A Christmas Carol, but...

"Light Boxes" by Shane Jones, Also Hungry for...
I like poems, I like the cute and the precious fable thing, but this was like a sneeze that just did not happen. It wanted to happen, I needed to sneeze, but no. This book would have been charming to find in the initial 500-print run. A practically hand-bound book out of nowhere in a little family bookstore. But as it has the full Penguin (and so I’ve heard Spike Jonze) makeover…I...
