Abbie is very much striking me as the 'too much money and too little sense' type. The kids in these stories, god I love all of them. There's a theme running throughout so many of the stories of children forced to grow up before their time, sometimes to the point of parenting the adults in their lives. Couldn't write notes on it, but I *had* to finish it anyway and then read it aloud to anyone who'd hold still long enough)) ((special mention to Free Jim's Mine, because I started that one, had to get the kids to bed, and then woke up the next morning having somehow sprained my wrist. My favorites are the ones set in Gracetown, but none of the stories left me with a 'meh' reaction. This book is such an amazing, perfect way to kick off Women in Horror Month. This collection includes Patient Zero, The Lake, The Knowing, Herd Immunity, and many other stories. SYNOPSIS: Tananarive Due, a winner of the American Book Award and an Essence and Los Angeles Times bestselling author, brings you her debut short fiction collection!
