Although challenging to keep reading because it is so sad and depressing, there is some legal resolution in the end. Not unlike other industrial pollution/workplace fallout tales, this is the story of many young women who died young due to the unknown - then known but covered up - effects of hand-painting numbers on clocks and military instruments that would glow in the dark. Fascinating, thorough, well-written investigation into the effects of radium poisoning. ~ Linda J.
The artwork is mesmerizing and is very busy. I loved the story with its intense twist and mythological fantasy that the world brings.

This is a collection of short stories by talented authors, some more well known than others. They are a bit dark, but all wonderfully written. I listened to the book and it was narrated by XE Sands. She does a very good job, drawing the listener in.
