The Dead Hours of Night

For some reason I was just NOT in the mood for short fiction right now, but this was fantastic. There is not a bad story in here. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite! Closet Dreams and The Replacements scared the crap out of me. I can't stop thinking about Mr. Elphinstone's Hands, even though it made me sick.
I really appreciated the little intros by Tuttle. I think it deepened my appreciation for each story. I chose not to rush through this but to read a story and then reflect on it. Some of them I want to reread again immediately.
This is a collection worth owning as I think different readings at different time of life might change the meaning of the stories as well. I loved her brave female protagonists and that they often skewed older in age. Totally refreshing to read that.
