review 1: After reading the novel The Reading Lessons I had to move on to this book. Though The Whisper Jar is dark and full of sinister settings and wonderful, creepy moments, the writing was just so beautiful, it swept me along from story to story in a way that I couldn't turn off. It was descriptive without being wordy and everything went toward tone and emotion. I could smell these stories. Each had its own flavor, its own color. Frankly, I pretty much didn't set the thing down until I'd gobbled the entire book whole. Very much hoping to find more work by this author.
review 2: What a great surprise of short stories! I don't know what I was expecting, but I found myself unable to stop mid-story and that rarely happens. "Friar Garden, Mister Samuel, and the Jil... morely Jally Butter Mints" was probably my favorite..if I had to choose. The theme of the stories here seem to be about growing up and imagination versus reality- dark fairy tales that keep you riveted. I want more from this author. SERIOUSLY. less
