Sunday Telegraph
A new collection of stories from A.S Byatt is always a winner, and this one takes an unexpected turn, bringing shivers as well as delights. Leaves rustle underfoot in a dark wood: two middle-aged women walk into a forest, as they did when they were girls, confronting their fears and memories and the strange thing they saw in their childhood - or through they saw - so long ago. A man meets the ghost of his living wife; a woman turns inexorably to stone. Little Black Book of Stories hold its secrets, adding a dark quality to Byatt's famous skill in mixing folk and fairy tale with everyday life.
'Little Black Book of Stories is a cabinet of curiosities...glitteringly beautiful. Byatt is a vivid colourist.' Sunday Times
'As ever, Byatt's language has the clear intensity of a poem.' Daily Mail
'Each story resembles a novel in miniature...there is a unique, experimental feel to this engaging, unsettling collection.' Scotland on Sunday
