This is my favorite book of the year. Every story is my favorite. If you like Shirley Jackson then you are going to love Kathryn Harlan. Absolute magic.

Won this in the giveaway, in exchange for an honest review.

I always love a good haunting, Gothic tale, and these are definitely worth a read. Very obviously queen centered stories, and mostly women. You get a taste for old folklore, and much coming of age feels.
I suggest you read, you won't be disappointed.
