The corn maiden and other nightmares

I was looking forward to reading another JCO after loving Foxfire a couple of years ago but this collection of short stories was underwhelming. I wonder if she just needs more room to write, as it often seemed like what might have been a good idea didn't have the space to be fleshed out properly. It all felt a bit half-arsed. I'll definitely try another of her characteristically huge books but her short stories aren't for me.
