Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins by Emma Donoghue

4.0

I really enjoyed this. Donogue has stark language; she doesn't waste words but uses them beautifully. Some of the stories work better than others or are more interesting, but she weaves them together in a way that is quite lovely and most of them have a surprising darkness (that's not depressing) and sensuality. There's some real honest humanity here. Of course, I loved the queer spins on several stories. A quick, engrossing read.
