The Liars' Asylum

I'm so busy reading short stories from the 1950's and 1960's I rarely look at what is written nowadays.  I picked this up and am glad I did.  The first story "Bait and Switch" was the best.  It's about an aunt who wants her niece to help her pick up a man.  The girl gets a job helping the guy adding details to plants.  It's kind of strange.  I liked the last story "The Liar's Asylum" mainly because it didn't end in the usual predictable manner or even a twist ending. I'm going to read another book by Appel soon.  I thought it was an interesting book, kind of eccentric.
