Review: Well-written but missing something

This is the first thing I have read of Mary SanGiovanni, and based on her writing and characterization I am eager to read something longer of her's. The Fading Place is in no way bad; it is a simple idea that seemed to progress logically to the conclusion that anyone would expect. The writing is great but I guess I just expected more; this seems more like an extended short story than a novella. I am definitely looking forward to reading some of Ms. SanGiovanni's work that is longer and more complex.
