Sylvia Plath Watches Us Sleep But We Don't Mind Reviews

These eerie short stories themed around mental health, grief, and dysfunctional relationships are a strange delight to read. Victoria Richards' prose is artful, ethereal, and thrilling. - Golnoosh Nour; If there is a better way to spend an evening than curled up on an armchair with this beautiful book, then I don't know about it and I don't want to. Richards is a master storyteller and a generous god - always tempting you further into the myriad worlds she creates. These are stories which demand to be read and then read again. They are stories which stay with you long after you've had to put the book down and get up from the chair. They are stories about love and womanhood and faith and loss and longing; about drowning and breathing; about being alive and what we can do about it. - Amelia Loulli, Poet
