Vampires in the Lemon Grove: Stories by Karen Russell

3.0

---

Strange feelings about this book. Swamplandia was one of my all-time faves and I guess I expected something a little more personal. I can't say I disliked the stories in this book — thinking back, each one of them was good and very moving — but the book also felt like a bit of a slog, lacking the crisp detail which made me love her previous works.
