Red Spikes is an Aus. Book Review Best Book of 2006

Anna Ryan-Punch says:

'With enviable sustained inventiveness, Margo Lanagan's Red Spikes (Allen & Unwin) demonstrates how the short story can encompass so much with so small an embrace. Her deep sense of the classical, and artful blending of the surreal with the everyday, lends a mythical quality to these unsettling stories.'

Come on, you know you want to be unsettled. Being unsettled is what life's all about, right? (Perfect Christmas gift - even the right colour!)
