So short, so sweet, so... free!
I had very different reactions to all three of these stories. I cried heartily. I threw my head back and yelled, "brilliant! what a fun idea!". I also thought, "hmmm okay. Good descriptions."
As you might notice, if I had to grade these individually, the stories would be 5/5/4.
Recommended to those who like a touch of humor and beauty with their morose horror stories.

The first two in this book of three were amusing and fun. For me, it's the third that truly sings. Great word selection throughout, but you "Gotcha"ed me in The Art of the Death. Brilliant work in it. 4/5/5 on the stories... Loved that final nail on the coffin.
Start this collection with "The Art of the Dead." Kelly's touch-of-life vignettes have the resonance of the work of a real, sensitive and observant soul.
