English Summary/英文概要： ’Stories are like Russian dolls; open them up, and in each one you’ll find another story.’
Conjured from a wickedly imaginative pen, here is a new collection of short stories that showcases Joanne Harris’s exceptional talent as a teller of tales, a spinner of yarns.Sensuous, mischievous, uproarious and wry, here are tales that combine the everyday with the unexpected; wild fantasy with bittersweet reality.
Come to the house where it is Christmas all year round; meet the ghost who lives on a Twitter timeline; be spooked by a newborn baby created with sugar, spice and lashings of cake. Worry for a young girl in the Congo who rides the rapids to earn a crust of bread; and spy on Norse gods battling each other for survival in modern Manhattan. In her first collection since Jigs & Reels, let Joanne Harris ensnare and delight you with the variety and inventiveness of her storytelling.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “俄罗斯套娃一般的故事情节，每打开一层，你就会发现其中还蕴藏着另一个故事。”
乔安娜•哈里斯是一名出色的讲述者，同时也是一名优秀的情节构思家，她用她充满了奇思妙想的羽笔为我们能奇迹般的变出了这一整本短篇故事集。选集中的故事不仅为读者们带来了感官上的刺激，同时满布着各种小小恶作剧，一边让你捧腹大笑，一边暗含有某些讽刺与挖苦的意味。---他将平凡与出乎意料相结合，将最狂野的幻想与苦涩而甜蜜的现实相结合。
来到一个全年圣诞的国度；认识那些住在twitter时间表上的鬼魂；被那些糖果、香料以及蛋糕神做的新生儿吓得不轻，抑或是担心那名为了一块硬面包跋涉险滩的刚果少女？秘密地观察古斯堪地纳维亚大神在如今曼哈顿的土地上为了生存而相互斗争？自其第一部选集《吉格舞与里尔舞》起，乔安娜•哈里斯便早已设下“圈套”，让你深陷其精心编织的充满创造力并且极为丰满的故事中不能自拔。(DC)
