Hag: Forgotten Folktales Retold by Imogen Hermes Gowar, Naomi Booth, Emma Glass, Irenosen Okojie, Daisy Johnson, Natasha Carthew, Eimear McBride, Liv Little, Mahsuda Snaith, Kirsty Logan
HAG: FORGOTTEN FOLKTALES RETOLD by VARIOUS AUTHORS
I’d been saving this book up for Halloween month because of its supposed spooky themes. Unfortunately I didn’t love this. I liked it, but the stories felt a little amateur.
They are retellings of folktales from various places around the U.K. and I liked the concept but the final product was not as polished as I might have liked.
There was one stand out story that makes the reading of this collection worthwhile and that was the one about the panther.
I don’t think the writing was bad, I just didn’t find the retellings that exciting or compelling.
Anyone else read this and had a similar experience?
