Review: Humorous horror

I don't usually read or review fiction, but I enjoyed this short story. The narrator is a young man who is (against his inclinations and better judgement) pulled into the lives of his female relatives - mother, sister, grandmother, and aunt.  They are as mysterious and infuriating as women usually are to men, but the introduction of the deadly pomander is the LAST STRAW!Occasionally a word is slightly askew, as if drawn from a dictionary or Thesaurus instead of the author's vocabulary, but the story is smoothly written and readable. The reactions of the narrator are particularly believable. Altogether a very entertaining look at the "horror" of family relationships from the male point of view.
