Little Black Book of Stories Reveiw

I wanted to write this review about one of my favorite books for a while, so while I'm writing my new vampire story, I'm posting this. The name of the book is "Little Black Book of Stories" written by A.S. Byatt, kinda intriguing name isn't it? I really liked it. it's not horror but has elements of horror woven into the lines of its stories, I'd rather call it dark fantasy or dark fiction. Some passages are truelly good and ... inspiring!
My favorite one was "A Stone Woman" in which many interesting themes are explored, but I won't spoil it for you; go read for yourselves :)
The book generally recieved positive reviews from critiques too, here are some of them:

"In this wintry, supremely elegant collection, Byatt (Possession) peels back the surface of everyday life--and what she reveals may disturb your sleep." - Jennifer Reese, Entertainment Weekly

"Little Black Book of Stories is tough and good, stony in all the best ways, vitally not nice. It is her finest collection yet." - Ali Smith, The Guardian

"These tales, like those in Joyce's Dubliners, seem steeped in the sense that, one by one, we are all becoming shades. Occasionally, such emblematic qualities are worn a little too much on the sleeve: does "Body Art", which deals with a lapsed Catholic, really need lead characters named Becket and Whimple? But Byatt's skill lies in her ability to capture in one story both the fantastical and the entirely human." - Nicola Smyth, Independent on Sunday

So let me tell you this is a good book and I recomend it to you if you're into the genres I mentioned above.
