This cover is a bit creepy, the book I have is a lot simpler. I think if I had seen that cover I might have hesitated in reading the book.It builds up really nicely, Merricat keeps giving us pieces of the puzzle throughout the book, until the picture is complete.It's one of those books that don't fi...
Two problems with this book. First, the title is misleading since only about 1/5 or the stories (and a couple of essays) deal with what I would call amnesia, the rest could mostly be loosely defined as mind or memory stories, and about 1/10 just don't belong here. They must have been editor favorite...
I actually liked the story and i think it was much better written then The Haunting of Hill House. I loved the concept of the Haunting of Hill House but it was terribly written. So anyways, this was not a 5 star but it was good. Ive never really cared for alot of short stories unless there just exce...

I read this book a long time ago (like, sometime in 2012, if I recall correctly. If not, in 2013...

Maybe it's weird of me, but if I want fanfic, I'll wander the intern...

After seeing everyone praise this book, I promptly decided to make it one of the reads our book club would do in October! I'll be honest, it didn't go over that well. Where I loved it, most of the other people weren't interested in the least. Shame, really. I thought this was fairly brilliant! The...
This is an amazing collection of short stories from a literary master. Whether the story is realistic, rooted in mysticism, or found somewhere in between, each one is unique and thought provoking. Jonathan Lethem has a way of making every story he tells stick with you long after you’ve finished t...
