Who has read:
The Witch's Vacuum Cleaner?
I have not. Is it any good? supposed to be short stories,
NOT one long feature-length book.

By the way, Claire M, since you mentioned this in a post on this thread:

by Robin Jarvis:
Dancing Jax, Freax & Rejex, Fighting Pax: a complete series. A mash-up of Jonathan Swift, Stephen King, and at the end a touch of George MacDonald. Sound threatening? It is!

Also by Robin Jarvis:
The Power of Dark, which returns to Whitby. And believe it or not, there are....aufwaders, but I don't know why they are still around, seeing as how the Lords of the Deep and Dark had a special island world to which the aufwaders were removed. I don't know because I have only managed to read little excerpts of this book while I am waiting for Amazon to deliver my order.
