I Am Heathcliff by Kate Mosse

This is a collection of sixteen short stories all written by different authors and all inspired in some way by Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. If you follow me on GoodReads then you'll know that I was a hair's breadth away from not-finishing this book because I was not enjoying it. Then came Thicker Than Blood by Erin Kelly and the collection was saved. After that, there were some other great stories, like The Howling Girl and Heathcliffs I Have Known, but for the most part, the stories felt inconsequential. With short story collections, I tend to rate each one and work out the average and with an average of 2.8, this one just about scraped three stars. I can't say that I would recommend it as a collection especially if you really love the source material.
