I read the first page of Angel of Death and got serious chills. What an ominous beginning.I'm starting to realise that this is perhaps one of the reasons why I'm loving McCabe. She packs a punch right from the beginning. I don't know if you remember that I reviewed her Sleeping Beauty Fairy Foible too and really liked her adult interpretation of  that. Its sinister, dark and humorous, just my cuppa tea. You see, now that's a book with impact, one you can still clearly remember a year later.K.w. McCabe is mainly a short story writer and i'm normally quite ambivalent about reading short stories because I tend to be unlucky with them. Most of those I've chosen previously I felt lacked follow through at times or had no real meat on them (substance) or just lacked that certain punch that hooks one to a book.This is never the case with K.W, for me she delivers in every area. Whether she's doing her own version of a well known fairytale or conjuring up her own disturbing,entertaining and unforgettable stories. I'm always gripped for the hour or two that I spend reading her book.  As I was last night with Angel of Death.Its always find it hard to do a detailed review of a short story because its so easy to give it away but suffice to say you like great fantasy writing, this one is just the thing to transport you to millennia gone by and Lord deaths relationship with the current living. Its also helps heaps that not only does K.w come up with great story concepts but has awesome writing skills that deliver great unforgettable lines.This was a lovely, easy read for a Saturday night in for me. Loved it.I'm looking forward to curling up with K.w. McCabe's  Dragons Call tonight.Angel of Death (Thomas Lord of Death)
