King’s. The Tower of London. Glass. What do these have in common?
Each is a famous menagerie.
While this Menagerie doesn’t focus on exotic animals, it does contain a collection of stories that explore various trials people face and how their reactions shape their worlds.
Survivors of a haunted bridge. Women who wait while their husbands fight a war. Former partners reunited to solve a cold-case murder.
These are just three of the thirteen stories in this compendium, encompassing past and present, natural and supernatural, legend and reality. The genres and timelines are varied, but there’s a little something for everyone who enjoys reading about simpler times and small-town life.
Our Review
From the complex premise of A Moment in Time to the mystery of The Homecoming, this wonderful collection of short stories enchanted me.
Each is a masterpiece of description, setting and storytelling that left me wanting each story to go on forever.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading them all, and every story brought something new and unexpected to my reading experience.
If I had to choose a favourite, it would be between Ghost Bridge and Storm Rider. Both of these stories appealed to my love of ghostly mysteries.
