Reviews
The Drowning Girl by Caitlín R. Kiernan
I listened to this book on audiotape and enjoyed it quite a bit. The narration was very good. The main character was very interesting.
First time I've come across Dancy, whilst shopping in my local comic book store and deciding to try something new.
This hardback is a collection of the 5 story arc where Dancy is left by her Avenging Angel to face the monsters and Wolves alone (apart from the talking blackbird and the ghost of the werewolf she kills in the first story).
This is not an easy journey for Dancy, feeling alone and angry that she seems to have to do the dirty work for the angel but gets deserted at her most challenging time.
Story is good, graphics and lettering are decent and reflecting the disintegrating world that Dancy finds herself in… (more)

This book was a haunting tale of a woman with paranoid schizophrenia slowly devolving into madness. It was very well written and vivid.
It's a good collection, but like a lot of horror and dark fantasy, some of the stories seem to rely more on just vibes than characterization and plot (even those are well done, if sometimes confusing). Of them, my favorites were "The Maltese Unicorn" and "Fairy Tale of Wood Street." YMMV.
