mollylazer 's review for:
The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror
by Daniel M. Lavery
As someone who lives for fairy tale retellings, I was very excited about this book. I thoroughly enjoyed these revisions of classic tales. I can't say I understood all of them (those that I didn't "get" were very few in number), but I still enjoyed the experience of reading them. My favorite stories in the collection were "The Merry Spinster" and "Six Boy-Coffins." Ortberg does a great job of bringing out darker themes from the original stories in these new versions.
