Tragedy Queens: Stories Inspired by Lana Del Rey & Sylvia Plath by Gabino Iglesias, Lisa Marie Basile
3.0
I bought this interesting anthology of short stories purely because of Lana Del Rey and Sylvia Plath on the front cover. They feature a wide range of topics, all controversial, tragic, and jarring.
The collection is a bit eclectic, and honestly, none of the pieces stand out to me as profoundly moving. They work efficiently together, but would not stand separately.
Most of them picked a controversial topic or focus, but the topic was more important than any other aspect of storytelling.
I don’t regret buying this volume, but I won’t remember any of the pieces in a year. That feeling is certainly different from when I listen to a Lana Del Rey song or read Sylvia Plath.
