      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      ‘Brood’ is such a multi-layered word: thinking deeply about something, a group of young animals, something to do with longed-for motherhood… and this beautiful, spare book is about all of those, and more. The protagonist (she’s never named) and her h

      I purchased this because I had enjoyed Sims' first novel, "The Phoenix." While the two genres are completely different, I have to say - I loved this story! And anyone who has been bullied in their life will probably understand why. Didn't we all dream of revenge? Of seeing our tormentor get a comeuppance? This short story delivers that revenge in a most satisfying way. And no, the bully doesn't die, where would the fun be in that? The story is tightly paced; readers get just enough info to sympathize with the protagonist and the ending is cleverly managed. Highly recommended! And you can't go wrong with the price.
