Gothic!: Ten Original Dark Tales by Deborah Noyes
4.0
A collection of creepy stories. I enjoyed the whole collection, but several stories stood out for me.
“Morgan Roehmar’s Boys” by Vivian Vande Velde was genuinely scary.
“Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Nameless House of the Night of Dread Desire” by Neil Gaiman has a story-within-a-story thing going on and the ending made me laugh out loud.
“Stone Tower” by Janni Lee Simner was such an interesting take on Rapunzel. My favorite from the collection.
“Writing on the Wall” by Celia Rees was another pretty scary one, with the added bonus of some excellent girl power.
“Endings” by Garth Nix worked on multiple levels, both on its own and as the final tale in the collection. I loved the way it played with reader assumptions.
