I'm a little surprised I hadn't read this one already, and really glad that I have it under my belt - weird and disturbing, strong New Wave vibes through a Russian/Soviet lens, astonishing that it was published 14 years before the Chernobyl disaster.

Heard about this on the MPR "Ask a Bookseller" segment, and saw that it was at my local library branch when I went to pick up some holds; about halfway through, it drew me in with its dreamlike story.

If Ellen Datlow edited it, I'll read it - she has never disappointed me in any of her anthologies.

Mantel's collection "The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher" blew me away; I'm enjoying this collection as well.

I caught GemmaRose's reading/puppet show in Minneapolis on my son's recommendation, and after hearing her on the American Scholar podcast; I look forward to digging into this imaginative take on Baba Yaga's lore
