Vampires in the Lemon Grove by Karen Russell
3.0

I'm not the biggest fan of short stories, but I think this book might be the first that starts to change my mind on the format.

Russell has a powerful imagination and a real appreciation for things that are different or offbeat. However she lacks an attention to detail, at times, that harms the authenticity of a few of the short stories.

But hey, if you have a story where US presidents are reincarnated as farm yard horses, that's fine with me!
