review 1: A thin and tiny book that can be easily slipped into your coat pocket and read while on your coffee break or while waiting for the bus or for the opera to start. Consider these short-short stories as modern fairy tales of a grim nature, the majority of them only a paragraph in length. People die, sometimes in horrible ways. Other times they just disappear into a void. Like the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales, some of the tales are better than others, some forgettable. All in all, the book is a fun and quick read and is intended for adult readers, not little children. Fairy tales have risen in popularity in recent years, their themes being reworked in literature, film, and television, and this little gem of a book just helps add to the ongoing excitement and interest so m... moreany of us have in the imaginative tales of our youth, those stories that held us in suspense, made us giggle, and made us start at the sound of a tree branch tapping against a window or a shadow moving against a wall or a creepy old woman (a witch?) staring at us from her window. Great fun.
review 2: GRIM TALES was not exactly what I expected, not that I know exactly what I expected. What matters is that it was even better. GRIM TALES is a collection of tiny stories I found almost impossible to put down. Norman Lock’s sentences are engaging, spinning tales that are darkly humorous, suspenseful, surreal, and downright macabre. Its minimalism also makes for satisfying distractions between daily tasks! less
