This is an excellent book of short stories by the amazing Ms. Brite. THese short pieces do a great job in showing how Poppy thinks and writes, and give you a good grasp of her style. They do not hold up to the very high standards of her novels though. If you are to read her short stories and dislike them, don't give up and discredit her until you've read a novel of hers (I suggest starting with Lost Souls.) - an Amazon customer review
