I received this as a download on Book Sirens for my honest review.
I really enjoyed this book. The stories were all so unique and engaging. There were twists on classics and many fully new tales. Some stories were upsetting and made me really uncomfortable, in the best way possible. This dark collection all tied together by a common theme. My absolute favorite was The Honey Witch. It was beautiful and haunting. If you pick up this book and only have time for one read this is the one I would recommend.
There were unfortunately a couple stories I couldn't get into. The language was just difficult to connect with. I felt compelled to skip these stories, but read through them anyway. This isn't a book I could see myself rereading (with the exception of a few stories). But, if anthologies that are dark are something you enjoy, give it a shot.
It's also worth looking more into all of the authors included in this book.
