Molly liked Caleb Wilson's review of A Pretty Mouth: " Sweetly nasty historical horror. My favorite story of the collection was the title novella, set in a tawdry yet charming just-prior-to-Restoration England full of wigs and evil twins and science of dubious morality. I could practically hear the Mi... " Read more of this review »
