Tales the Crows Taught Me: 17 Supernatural Tales to Make Your Skin Crawl by Laura Lovic-Lindsay

challenging dark mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

4.5

Gorgeous writing! The stories are perfectly paced, and there isn't a word too much or out of place. The author's notes at the end of each story were a nice touch too, it was so interesting to get a peek "behind the scenes" and learn where the inspiration for a character or a plot point came from. 
The book made for half a day's reading, but it will stay with me for a long time. Well done, Ms Lovic-Lindsay!
