Dreams from the Witch House: Female Voices of Lovecraftian Horror by Lynne Jamneck
3.0
I read this after [b:Year's Best Weird Fiction, Vol. 2|27192545|Year's Best Weird Fiction, Vol. 2|Kathe Koja|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1444887178s/27192545.jpg|47234707] which although doesn't advertise itself as female weird fiction it more or less is (one or two stories by men I believe). If you are interested in the subject I'd suggest that book over this. I found the stories in this book much more of a mixed bag. Although there are some standout stories:
5 stars
Our Lady of Arsia Mons by Caitlín R. Kiernan
The Body Electric by Lucy Brady
Every Hole in the Earth We Will Claim As Our Home by Gemma Files
4 stars
From the Cold Dark Sea by Storm Constantine
The Woman in the Hill by Tamsyn Muir
The Wreck of the Charles Dexter Ward by Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette
Sadly the other stories bored me, besides the few I outright hated. I think I would have enjoyed some more if I was familiar to the Lovecraft stories they were based on, so it might be on me.
