Product Description
From Booklist
Gr. 8-12. The eight tales in this eerie collection aren't for the faint of heart. "Lunch at Etienne's" is narrated by a woman who doesn't seem to realize that she is surrounded by death. "Cat in Glass," about a mysterious, malevolent sculpted cat that commits gruesome murders, is told from the point of view of its frightened, bewildered owner. Then there's "The Sailor's Bargain," a captivating story about an orphan whose haunting dreams lead to stark revelation of another life, and "The Lily and the Weaver's Heart," in which one-eyed Jacinth dares to take her place in a world that has been cruel to her and undertakes a risky journey usually reserved for the able-bodied men of her culture. Not all the stories are as good as these, but in the best stories, Etchemendy competently manipulates suspense with interesting plots and unusual characters. These rather dark tales will appeal mostly to horror fans. Anne O'Malley

4.0 out of 5 stars
can't get your eyes out of it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cat in Glass and Other Tales of the Unnatural (Hardcover)
This book is very enchanting, intriguing, and mind-gripping. The stories that it holds are very- oh- well, scary. If you want a good scare, then this is the book for you. I actually don't own this book; I got it out of the library for Halloween. This book is very intriguing, but not for people who are easily scared. Overall, this book really isn't gross and gruesome, unlike some other mystery novels. I give this book four stars.
