I'm so pleased to have a story in this excellent anthology. So many of its pieces are deliciously atmospheric and highly original. Very much recommended to anyone who enjoys the dark, the odd, and stories with child protagonists which are aimed at an adult audience.My favourites are (in order of appearance):Annabelle's Sleepover - Jan StinchcombMarco Polo - Calypso KaneThe Empty Birdcage - L LarkPinhole - Tantra BenskoHouse of Infinite Diversion - Aliya WhiteleyI'm looking forward to reading the...
Some wonderfully disturbing stories in this anthology. Standouts for me were: Leife Shallcross's "Pretty Jenny Greenteeth", Angela Rega's "Beehive Heart", and Ephiny Gale's Donkeyskin reworking "From Strangers".
This turned out to be a horror anthology and I'm not really one for horror, but I want to give a shout-out to "Pretty Jennie Greenteeth" by Leife Shallcross for adding a new twist to the setup of the Mr. Collins bit in Pride and Prejudice (multiple sisters encountering the unpleasant cousin one of them might have to marry so the family won't lose the house when he inherits it.)"Mr. Collins" acts like a far worse cad than in Austen and vengeance is supernatural and female. I really don't speak th...
So glad to have bought this book! Such a beautiful and wide array of stories, many of which leave you attempting to answer the twisted questions they presented. My favorites were "Pretty Jennie Greenteeth", "Marco Polo", and "Beehive Heart". These three stories were the ones my brain kept thinking about randomly during the day. That being said, I greatly look forward to re-reading this twisted book and find the hidden gems that I missed.
I had to take a few days to fully settle upon finishing this book filled with 19 strange little twisted tales by some very talented authors.. overall I give this book a big 5/5 stars.. .The tales held originality... so many times ending a tale I just closed the book and took a moment to chew upon what I just read... never was the tale what I had expected. The dark twisted girls buried within these pages were raw and true. I definitely recommend this book if your wanting something unexpected... s...
What a wonderful mixture of stories and what a strange mixture of girls. This was entertaining, chilling, at odd times amusing but at all times really worth reading.Anthologies break up the reading in a special way. They are made up of stories less time consuming but no less enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed Angela Rega's bees and found it quite confronting in the realm of human behaviour.
Full disclosure: I have a story in this book (Pretty Jennie Greenteeth).This is a real treasure box of stories about odd, strange and eerie girls. None of them are comfortable stories; some of them are downright horrifying. I think my favourite is D'arcy Grey and the Midnight Mailman, by Ian MacAllister-McDonald, but Marco Polo by Calypso Kane is also insidiously good. *shudders*
I enjoyed reading this book. Even though I am not a big fan of horror movie/story, but the short stories in this book are just amazing.
Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.The title definitely doesn't lie -- these are some STRANGE little girls. Each story is so different from the last, and they all suck you in and don't let up until the end. There are even a couple I could see being turned into at least a novella on their own, as I would love to read more about that particular girl's story. Really interesting read, and since it's a collection of short stories, you can read a little bit at a time and...
