That’s it, that’s the post. Really, though, Pale Horse, Pale Rider is one of the most beautiful short stories I’ve ever read. The dream sequences especially were so vivid and even magical, they practically took my breath away. The tenderness and realness of Miranda and Adam’s relationship, too, which of course made the ending all the more heartbreaking and bittersweet.

Anyway, I’ve added a complete collection of Porter’s short stories to my “want to read” bookshelf. I need more!!
