Wow, this absolutely blew me away. I was asked to review it by a friend (for a friend of hers), but had no idea what to expect, but THIS is what self publishing should be! Polished, entertaining, sophisticated writing - any of these stories could have come from a big-name anthology. If you've ever read Robin McKinley's fairytale reboots, or one of Terri Windling & Ellen Datlow's fairytale anthologies, you might have some idea of what to expect from this compact collection. Very impressive stuff, and not one of the stories takes you where you think it might, despite the original subject material. I wish I had read this a few of months ago, BEFORE To Spin a Darker Stair was finished! I'll be actively seeking more work from Rabia Gale, and I highly recommend this!
