A Natural History of Hell: Stories by Jeffrey Ford
5.0
Most of these tantalizing stories hover around a four for me... they are intriguing, bizarre and weird little imps hiding under your bed, anticipating the arrival of your feet on the floor.
Four stories truly made me swoon with delight: "Mount Chary Galore", "A Natural History of Autumn", "Rocket Ship to Hell" and, finest of all, "A Terror." "A Terror" would make such a wonderful movie; the story is intensely visual. What's not to like about Death, Emily Dickinson, and a witch trying to animate her grotesque dead child?
I had previously read "Mount Chary Galore" in an earlier story collection. It stood out there, and it still stands out here.
If you appreciate a walk on the weird side, this collection is a for you!
