Dreadful Young Ladies and Other Stories

By: Kelly Barnhill

Narrated by: John Lee

From award-winning, New York Times best-selling author Kelly Barnhill comes a stunning collection of nine stories teeming with uncanny characters whose lives unfold in worlds at once strikingly human and eerily original.

When Mrs. Sorensen's husband dies, she rekindles a long-dormant love with an unsuitable mate in "Mrs. Sorensen and the Sasquatch". In "Open the Door and the Light Pours Through", a young man wrestles with grief and his sexuality in an exchange of letters with his faraway beloved. "Dreadful Young Ladies" demonstrates the strength and power - known and unknown - of the imagination.

The World Fantasy Award-winning novella The Unlicensed Magician introduces the secret, magical life of an invisible girl once left for dead. By an author hailed as "a fantasist on the order of Neil Gaiman" (Minneapolis Star Tribune), the stories in Dreadful Young Ladies feature bold, reality-bending fantasy underscored by rich universal themes of love, death, jealousy, and hope.

Exquisite stories!

This title was in my wishlist forever, but I never pulled the trigger because I read a crappy review. :/ I finally picked it up in a sale and was blown away. This book is like a box of gems! Each story is superbly crafted and rich in details. The "ladies" of these stories are all wonderous and worth getting to know, so are all the supporting characters. Best of all, the narration is perfect. I loved this book, will definitely listen to it again, and likely over and over.

Hard to follow- kind of meh story lines

This was not that engaging or interesting. I had trouble following the stories. Found the narration stuffy-

Waist
