Burning Girls and Other Stories by Veronica Schanoes
4.0
I didn't love all of the stories in this book but I loved a fair number of them. The last one having me tear up at the end (The one the Title comes from). My favorite was Phosphorous, a story about the Phosphorous Girls of London.
I found the references to Alice in Wonderland incredibly interesting as they would always appear when I least expected them.
There were takes on tales I've heard before, as well as tales I hadn't (or at least didn't make a direct connection from one to the other).
I would definitely recommend this, even if you're just checking it out from the library for reading on individual time I would recommend it.
It is also gay, and being gay never seems to be anything out of the ordinary. Which I LOVE.
This was 10 times better as an audiobook. it meant I was better able to visualize the places depicted.
