Every once in a while I'll unearth one of the really good ones in my Kindle. This creepy and disturbing novella by Mia Zabriskie latched onto me from the opening page and wouldn't let go. The story's sense of pace and the grating inevitability of  Sophie's obsession with her lost daughter keeps the pages whizzing by. For surrealistic detail, none compares to Zabriskie. She creates a time and place that is, for want of a better word, "there." I do love a story that paints pictures, and this one does so. Do yourself a favor: wait until late at night when it's storming outside and the wind is hooting around beneath the eaves, open up Shudderville, and get swept off. This one's worth it. I'm off, now, to Shudderville II.
