At Midnight by Dahlia Adler
4.0
Short story collections are always a mixed bag. Even the best anthology has one or two stories that aren't as good, and the worst have one or two shining examples. I certainly enjoyed most of these veyr much - the Little Mermaid was very intriguing!
Although it doesn't say it in the description, most of the retellings are a lot more queer than the originals (I suppose it might have been assumed, coming from the creative team it is.) This is something you might like to be aware of.
I did really like that the original stories are included! However, they're at the end rather than with their retellings, which makes it tricky to remember what's matching with what. It's a great touch though, I don't think I've seen a book of retellings include the original like that.
Overall a great read I really enjoyed, and one I highly recommend.
