Skull and Pestle: New Tales of Baba Yaga by Kate Wolford

3.0

A solid anthology gathering seven stories starring Baba Yaga. The problem is most of them retell one story so as a whole it feels repetitive even when authors try to twist it. The story that impressed me most is The Partisan and The Witch by Charlotte Honigman - an excellent retelling blending Baba Yaga mythos with WWII.
