What a nice combination of sci-fi and fantasy. Yet still, it gave much deeper insights into cultural interactions than Star Trek's "prime directive".
"The Boys of Goose Hill" by Charles de Lint: Fun sort of folk-song. 4/5. "Catnyp" by Delia Sherman: About a changeling in “New York Between” and mostly set in the library. PERFECTION. 5/5. "Elvenbrood" by Tanith Lee: Pretty standard changeling sort of story. I liked the family dynamics in this one. 4/5. "The Faery Handbag" by Kelly Link: The ending of this one made me go ARRRRGGGHHH and it felt like it took advantage of my extreme interest during the rest of the story. 3/5. "The Price of Glamour" by Steve Berman: Faery thieves in Victorian London. Lots of thievery and an interesting partnership. 4/5 "The Night Market" by Holly Black: 4/5 "The Faery Reel" by Neil Gaiman: Creepy and the perfect faery reel, to be honest. 5/5. "How to Find Faery" by Nan Fry: Another great closing poem. 4/5.
Corrie Ten Boom is one of my heroes. This book is excellent. I think of it often and its message of doing the right thing even though it is the hard thing. Also, to remember to be grateful for the fleas.
This is a great sequel to The Killing Kind. You learn more about Parker's two pals, Angel and Louis, and some business left unfinished in The Killing Kind is finally resolved. Plus, this book marks an unveiling of Parker's true role in this wonderfully gothic series of good and evil.
This book was a nice surprise. It does a great job of capturing the frustration and discontent of living the typical American suburban life. Even though it was set in the 1950s and written quite a few years ago, it still resonates. There are a zillion novels out there with the same theme, but this one rises above most with the harshness and shock of its climactic scene.
