PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments I seem to be tuned into Max Porter's unusual storytelling. Grief is the Thing with Feathers could be a tear-jerker, but isn't. Crow is a raucous, wacky crow-on-the-wall (and often in-the-face) companion to Dad and the two young sons.

Outstanding.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments The second short story in the Never Tell collection, The Ghost Writer by Loreth Anne White is a gothic tale with a clever twist and possibly an unreliable narrator. 4★s

Probably a good idea to wait until you are at your computer Dale, so you can post any future reviews :)
