Vampires in the Lemon Grove: And Other Stories
by Karen Russell
If you loved Swamplandia, skip this. If you have never heard of Karen Russell, skip this and read Swamplandia. These stories are boring, and feel adolescent. There is one decent story in the bunch, but overall they're duds. This book feels like an author riding the coat tails of a hugely successful and well deserved praise of a debut novel. Here's to hoping her next venture redeems her talent.
