My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: Forty New Fairy Tales by Kate Bernheimer

3.0

3.5 stars. The collection varied quite a bit: some really good stories, others that were conceptually interesting but didn't really pull me in, some that were over-the-top grisly (i.e. "Look how 'dark' I can be"). Standout stories:
Aimee Bender, "Color Master" (my favorite, I think)
Karen Joy Fowler, "The Wild Swans"
Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum, "Erlking"
Francesca Lia Block, "Cupid and Psyche Revisited"
Lily Hoang, "Story of the Mosquito"
