I read this book of short stories one a day. My timing was great for the holiday stories.

A couple of particularly wonderful stories in this collection - I really enjoyed A Christmas Memory and Jug of Silver. I did get a little confused at times, as many of the same names are used in different stories.

Why do I often think older works are going to be stuffy and work to read? These stories are great! Lots of psychological examinations going on here and some good old creepy fun Hitchcockian style.

I've only read a couple stories out of this collection, but so far I really enjoy it.

Disturbing, sexy, eccentric, tacky, funny and fashionable are all descriptors of these stories and the man who wrote them.

"He’d always been willing to confess his faults, for, by admitting them, it was as if he made them no longer exist."
