![]() ‘I decided I was ready to write about my fears,’ she says. In between the tales are snippets of a first-person account by the (fictional) author, confessing what she endured as she wrote the stories on a retreat in Iceland. The stories focus on insidious fears, especially of women - bodily danger (external and internal), the frailty and ferocity of motherhood, desperate love, expectations - and are thematically collected in groupings called ‘The House,’ The Child’ and ‘The Past.’ Instead, we want to walk with them and understand them. It’s a nifty trick of Logan’s writing that we never want to turn away from her narrators. The tales are an alluring, chilling knot to pick and tug and try to unravel there’s an irresistible temptation to know more and to go further with the characters. Her characters admit to us things that (perhaps) should not, but must be, shared. The stories in this collection scream in a night-time whisper.Īuthor Kirsty Logan’s prose is simultaneously poetic and blatantly, sometimes painfully, raw. But at night, when it’s dark and quiet, the unspoken becomes story, and our deepest fears can be shared. ![]() Some things - wriggling, sticky, unjust, and bleak things - cannot be addressed in the revealing light of day. ![]()

Nor did I fail (as is the custom of landed proprietors all about the world) to parade the poor fellow up and down over my half a dozen acres secretly rejoicing, nevertheless, that the disarray of the inclement season, and particularly the six inches of snow then upon the ground, prevented him from observing the ragged neglect of soil and shrubbery into which the place had lapsed.

Young Kim adapted Twilight into a beautiful graphic novel that is pretty accurate to the original book. I remember wanting to read and own the graphic novel adaptation, even though I believed it wouldn’t be as good as the novel, but I didn’t do either until this year. It’s been years since I last reread Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer, and I was a Twihard back then. Genres: Paranormal Romance, YA, Graphic Novel ![]() |
