Vampires in the Lemon Grove is by Karen Russell. A charmingly creepy book of fantasy short stories. A group of girls find themselves sold into slavery in a silk factory where they slowly turn into silk worms. A massage therapist discovers she has the power to heal when she manipulates the tattoo on the back of a soldier with PTSD. A group of boys discover a scarecrow which resembles a classmate they bullied and are plagued by guilt. And of course, the title story of two vampires in a lemon grove trying to slack their thirst for blood, and other spooky tales.
