Great Horror Stories

Women rule horror these days, and this book is proof! This anthology has everything I love about dark fiction: complex characters with conflicting emotions, beautiful descriptions of pain and loss, and vivid brutality that is often poetic justice. An amazing anthology supporting a great cause.

4.5 rounded up! We Are Wolves is a powerful collection of stories and poems that highlights the courage, survival, weariness, and anger of women. This is a response to all the times when women are told to smile, to be silent, to be beautiful, because they are not worth more than that. But as this book brilliantly shows, women are a force to be reckoned with and those who stand in their way will pay the price.

The stories include a haunting look at a cry for help, a delightful twist on the grieving husband trope, a heartbreaking portrayal of the unfairness of motherhood, a familiar tread on male privilege, and a harrowing tale that declares: enough is enough. There’s tragedy, heartbreak and rage, but also joy, freedom and triumph. I loved this book. Absolutely recommended!

A mixed bag, and one that didn't quite live up to the fierceness of the intro for me
