LoveReading Says

Who are the monsters? From the author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time come eight tales that cut and splice into the very worst and very occasionally the best, of human traits. Mark Haddon creates new, and breathes life into old, myths and legends, forming stories that pierce the soul. Prepare to be unsettled, to question, to find your train of thought exploring new places. These are not easy tales, they challenged and provoked and created an icy fire in my consciousness. In some stories I found myself craving comfort, a gentle hand, a supporting murmur, and yet these are stories that once started, have to be completed. Humanity is most definitely found wanting, yet even when despairing, I found myself caught up in the emotions, in the potency of these tales. This collection joins our LoveReading Star Books as well as sitting as a Liz Pick of the Month. Screaming with a suppressed energy, the oh-so powerful Dogs and Monsters closes an iron fist and squeezes hope almost to extinction. Highly recommended.
