I couldn't wait to start this book once I bought it. I was in need of something fast, yet worth reading, and I wasn't disappointed.Dark Spaces is a collection full of very descriptive writing. Many times I was left admiring Lister's ability to paint a beautiful picture comprised of such dark and disturbing aspects of the human experience. It was this that drew me in to many of these stories.There were a few tales that didn't full work for me, yet they were worth reading nonetheless. There isn't a bad egg in here. Some of my favorites were the opening story "Breathe in Autumn" (great start in my opinion,) "The Presentation," "Amy," and "Heart of an Angel" (a glimpse into the workings of the twisted mind of a nurse, and a great ending).Lister has put together a great group of these short shorts and I'd gladly pick up any collection she comes out with in the future.
