There Once Lived a Woman Who Tried to Kill Her Neighbour's Baby: Scary Fairy Tales by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya

1.0

Not fun to read. And not in a this-makes-me-uncomfortable kind of way, but more of an I-don't-get-it-and-don't-care-to-get-it mentality.

"Hygiene" was by far my favorite piece from the collection, but overall found everything way more confusing than scary. Very frequently I finished a story, thought "huh, what did I miss?" and then moved on because I didn't care enough to actually try and dig into that question. Not a good sign!
