The Wishing Pool and Other Stories by Tananarive Due

dark mysterious tense

4.75

A really amazing collection of short stories. My favorites are all in the Graceland section. Due has such an amazing ability to delight and frustrate you by presenting you with the evil immediately and make you think you know where things are going, then she rips the satisfaction of a conclusion out from under you so things just build and build and build and then you drop. I did feel like the last section of stories didn’t grip me as hard as the others but it wasn’t enough to really detract from the overall enjoyment of the book it just falls off a little at the end.
