Read The Company of Wolves for a creative writing class a year ago and really liked it. The prose caught me off more than any other story I read so I decided to sit down and read the rest. For starters, I gotta say, it is really good. There is something about the way that it is written that would be perfect to hear around a campfire. I'm not entirely sure I "got" the exact message behind many of the stories, that'll demand a reread in a few years I think. Even if you don't totally understand, just the writing style is enough to keep you captivated. "The Bloody Chamber", "The Lady of the House of Love", and the astonishingly tonally different "Puss-in-Boots" are some of my favorites.
