The talented novelist (Hating Alison Ashley) turns in ten compact, briskly varied short tales. Readers can partake of the gleeful "Little Beast," in which the besieged outcast at boarding school wreaks heady revenge on her tormentors, or the guilt-laden "Octopi," about a young girl who uses pathos to insinuate herself into the lives of others, or "We'll Look After You," which artfully twists Good Samaritanship into a nightmare, a la Stephen King's Misery. Pithy, provocative, and plenty of fun.Klein, Robin is the author of 'Tearaways: Stories to Make You Think Twice' with ISBN 9780670832125 and ISBN 067083212X.
