In the Palace of Repose by Holly Phillips
Holly Phillips is a brilliant prose stylist, and it shows in her first collection of short stories, In the Palace of Repose.

Phillips uses words the way a musician uses notes, playing a resonant, fey tune. It is easy to journey with her into the foreign and fantastic worlds she builds, just as one might follow a gentler Pied Piper.
