I devoured Lamb to the Slaughter from Deception, a brilliantly executed story of a wife who dispatches her husband, and the evidence of his murder in a cunning and amusing way. In Cruelty I read The Butler, a clever tale of how the servants of an obnoxious man get their revenge in a brilliantly sneaky way. I read Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life from Lust, the tale of a farmer who knows how to predict the gender of his calves, I cheated slightly with the next story as I had already read The Landlady from Madness, the story is also included in Trickery. So instead of sitting procrastinating for a while I thought I’d read one story from each and see which one appealed the most. ![]() When I received these four beautiful looking collections of short stories I didn’t know where to start first.
