[3.5 stars.] A quite solid collection of stories if unsurprising. I am a huge Dorothy Eden fan, and if youve read a lot of her work then you will see the recurrence of her favorite tropes: the mysterious voice on the phone line- spy stories couched in domestic dramas- her worshipful if slightly condescending love of all things Oriental- the quasi-mystic power of paintings. Never trust a hot, milky drink in the world of Dorothy Eden, Ill tell you that much. All of these themes are explored to much greater impact in her novels. As story collections go, I think her House on Hay Hill was more memorable. But if this is your introduction to Eden, its a very good sampler. Or if, like me, you just cant get enough of her, you will enjoy it. Yellow Is for Fear : And Other Stories by Dorothy Eden
