This book was sweet, it was sad, and it was truly terrifying. I couldn't ask for more in a short story. Lucretia's story reminded me heavily of Neil Gaiman's Coraline except that I feel like it was a bit more adult-there was no furry sidekick and the ending was a bit more complicated. In short, I loved this story and will probably reread it many times.
