Review: Escape into another world
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 29, 2012
The first story is so haunting, with a classic theme that reminds me of Faust, The Monkey's Paw, and other unforgettable stories about the consequences of a dangerous choice. An alliance with the devil? We don't learn all the details of the transaction in this story, but they hardly matter. All the stories in the volume are rich with archetypes, journeys, mysterious strangers and a mood that takes us out of the present day. Good escapist reading!
