29 Myths on the Swinster Pharmacy by Lemony Snicket

4.0

More odd mystery from Lemony Snicket. 29 Myths on the Swinster Pharmacy is a compact little offering that tells us all sorts of things about the mysterious pharmacy. My favorites are:

11. When the town aches, the Swinster Pharmacy aches with it.
12. In all of our dreams, the Pharmacy squats in the middle of the block like something blue and hungry. In the morning it is on the corner.
14. Your lies bounce off its windows like spinning discarded tops.

Essentially, this is a cleverly presented illustration of how imagination can turn even the most mundane thing into something mysterious and nefarious.

Well done Mr Snicket. Well done.
