Praise

“This book was a joy. I had never previously been a fan of short stories, but I couldn’t put this book down. All the stories are a weaving in and out of familiar myths and fairy tales to tell them in new guises which uncover deeper truths and show new facets. I will certainly be looking out for new stories by all the authors in this book.”

“They say that short stories aren’t selling too well these days but based on this collection that’s unbelievable. This is like a succulent selection of tapas, beautifully presented and something for everybody. I have my favourites and I’m certain anybody who reads this collection will find something to relish. Then you realise that short stories are more than a quick taste, they’re totally satisfying.”

“This anthology was recommended to me by a friend. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the variety of very well written stories. I originally purchased this to dip in and out of. That resolve didn’t last as each story made me want to read the next.

As with all anthologies I could pick out a couple of favourites – I won’t name them as I feel that’s an individual preference. All the stories make a compelling read.

I can highly recommend this book – as others have previously said, don’t expect happy endings…”
