Dona Fox – Darker tales from the den
Seventeen darker tales. Stories of death, ghosts, and wicked delusions. Poisons, secrets, and lovers from the past. Murders by curse, serpents’ fangs, herbs, and flowers. The discovery of crystal bones, the smell of singed gossamer wings, the sound of a wooden puppet dancing in the dark and the touch of a cold hand beneath the grave. Includes the novella “CHRYSTAL BONES AND GOSSAMER WINGS.”
“Dona Fox had me with her first story, ‘Smoky Martini.’ Creepy and atmospheric, it sets the stage for Dark Tales from the Den, her new collection of shorts. My favorites, along with ‘Smoky Martini,’ were ‘Crawlspace’–suitably claustrophobic and disturbing–and the devastating ‘Grace at the End.’ Fox shows her deft hand for creating atmosphere and mood in these 18 shorts. Very much recommended!-
