Dreadful Young Ladies and Other Stories is a literary fiction book by author Kelly Barnhill.
The novel is about the secret, magical life of an invisible girl who was once left to the dead. A story with bold, reality-bending fantasy punctuated by rich universal themes of love, death, jealousy, and hope.
When Mrs. Sorensen’s husband died, she rekindled a quiet love affair with an unsuitable partner in “Mrs. Sorensen and the Sasquatch”. In “Open the Door and the Light Pours Through,” a young man struggles with his grief and sexuality during a correspondence with his distant lover. “Scary Young Girls” embodies the power and power – known and unknown – of the imagination.
