I misplaced this book 10 or so pages from the end, but up to that point IT WAS FANTASTIC.


UPDATE:

My wife found it!

This is a collection of small horrors. One might shelve it with Kosinski's [b:Steps|18464|Steps|Jerzy Kosiński|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166928514s/18464.jpg|1081162], but the two would only be distant cousins. Mainly shorts, paragraph-length blinks, often of the contents' own terrible endings. I wouldn't call GRIM TALES flash fiction, necessarily, as these seem to crag from each other, but the classification isn't what's important anyway. Norman Lock can write. Here's an excerpt from GRIM TALES. Here's some other Lock. If you just click away from me to Lock, I won't have to convince you to like Lock. So go.

Not only do I emphatically recommend this book, I suggest you spend the $40 to get everything Mud Luscious puts out this year. ( )

A collection of frustratingly short shorts. Grim indeed. Some really lovely wording. ( )
