A review by 5elementknitr
Hair Side, Flesh Side by Helen Marshall
4.0
Three pages into the first story, and I already LOVE this book!
These stories are so beautifully written. They are a creepy slow burn. You have a feeling of dread that never gets quite relieved. There's no boogeyman jumping out at you. It's a cold touch in the dark.
About halfway through, I realized all the stories were about change. Someone changing into someone else (or something else).
The only criticism I can think of is they may have wanted a proofreader to take another run at it. There were a few typos here and there (page 208 in particular had, like, three).
