Jackalope Wives and Other Stories by T. Kingfisher
4.0
If Flannery O'Connor wrote fairy tales I imagine they'd look a bit like this. That's how good the writing is. Eerie, deviant, bizarrely funny, and sometimes poignant.
I love the way T. Kingfisher writes her women. Wry, subversive...powerful for their refusal to be victimized and unapologetic about their age.
My favorites were The Dryad's Shoe, Bird Bones, Let Pass The Horses Black, and The Tomato Thief.
"Grandma Harken thought of herself as an old lady, because she was one. That she was tougher than tree roots and barbed wire did not matter. You did not steal an old lady’s tomatoes. It was rude, and also, she would destroy you."
