A short story collection featuring elements of magic realism while touching on the themes of love, knowledge, grief, hope, and jealousy. Teeming with uncanny characters whose lives unfold in worlds at once strikingly human and eerily original, these stories demonstrate the strength and power -- known and unknown -- of the imagination.

Review of 'Dreadful young ladies and other stories' on 'Goodreads'

I might've liked this better if I read it before The Girl Who Drank the Moon or perhaps not immediately afterward. If you read the stellar (sorry) Newbery Award winner novel these stories are just fantasy riffs connected with some parts of that novel.
