I think "truthful" and "hateful" have gotten mixed up in these stories. Maybe they are more interesting sprinkled among the magazines they were first published, but as a collection I found them overbearing, depressing, and one note. While the prose are good and Taddeo uses many off the wall metaphors that are quite grabbing, the only story I actually liked was Maid Marian.
