I Hold a Wolf by the Ears is a collection of eerie short stories by Laura van den Berg. The women protagonists in the stories are disturbed or disturbing or both, and most of the antagonists are women, too (sisters, mothers, new friend, former sister-in-law). The plots are interesting and the quality of the writing is excellent. NPR calls the stories “exquisite.” Here’s what Kirkus Reviews says:
