Little Black Book of Stories by A.S. Byatt is a book a lot less creepy than it was made out to be.

Reviewed on 09/16/08 Plays: 12

Pros: Well written

Cons: Not scary

Bought this product at: Amazon

Little Black Book of Stories was an okay book on its own, but it was described as being "creepy and chilling," and it really really wasn't. "The Stone Woman" is the best of the five stories, but I didn't find any of them to be scary.

Summary

Like Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, Isak Dinesen and Angela Carter, A. S. Byatt knows that fairy tales are for grownups. And in this ravishing collection she breathes new life into the form. Little Black Book of Stories offers shivers along with magical thrills. Leaves rustle underfoot in a dark wood: two middle-aged women, childhood friends reunited by chance, venture into a dark forest where once, many years before, they saw–or thought they saw–something unspeakable. Another woman, recently bereaved, finds herself slowly but surely turning into stone. A coolly rational ob-gyn has his world pushed off-axis by a waiflike art student with her own ideas about the uses of the body. Spellbinding, witty, lovely, terrifying, the Little Black Book of Stories is Byatt at the height of her craft.
