Great for people who enjoy short stories, and stories of witches. Covers stories from across the globe, broken down into different types of stories (like about the elements, transformations, love spells, etc.)

i really loved this anthology of witchy tales from all over the world, and from over many centuries. i got to see how different times and different cultures viewed the witch, which is something i am particularly interested in. really fun and quick read!

After being so deep in existential fear for the future, I just wanted something a bit more weird and wonderful and boy did this deliver. Shahrukh Husain has compiled a strange and enticing collection of stories from all over the world featuring various iterations of witches. The full spectrum of witchy behaviour is covered within these pages, whether it’s luring children to their doom, dispensing wisdom to heroes, stealing the virility of handsome princes or turning themselves or others into animals. These women are dark and powerful and their stories are thought-provoking. A must-read for any fellow aspiring witches.

Husain's introduction was very insightful and makes you read the short fantasy stories from another perspective. I loved that the collection brings about myth stories from all over the world. 100% recommend.
