This short story is so tiny it would probably fit in these review.http://joylandmagazine.com/regions/los-angeles/swan-metaphor-loveI had to read twice to get all the metaphors. I expected something HILARIOUS, as Flavorwire claimed, but it is just ha-ha clever.
This was my first run in with Amelia Gray, but I sort of knew what to expect from her: dark, strange, talented. No doubt, all those things are true.
