Some fantastic work in here, and some not so fantastic. As with all anthos, it's a mixed bag.

All of the stories in this book were great, there wasn't a low point. Definitely worth a read.

A strong and painfully beautiful collection. Too many women will recognize themselves in these pages and it is a reminder that we will rise, sometimes soaked in our own blood and sometimes in the blood of those who have hurt us, but most often in both.

Great Horror Stories
Women rule horror these days, and this book is proof! This anthology has everything I love about dark fiction: complex characters with conflicting emotions, beautiful descriptions of pain and loss, and vivid brutality that is often poetic justice. An amazing anthology supporting a great cause.

4.5 rounded up! We Are Wolves is a powerful collection of stories and poems that highlights the courage, survival, weariness, and anger of women. This is a response to all the times when women are told to smile, to be silent, to be beautiful, because they are not worth more than that. But as this book brilliantly shows, women are a force to be reckoned with and those who stand in their way will pay the price.
The stories include a haunting look at a cry for help, a delightful twist on the grieving husband trope, a heartbreaking portrayal of the unfairness of motherhood, a familiar tread on male privilege, and a harrowing tale that declares: enough is enough. There’s tragedy, heartbreak and rage, but also joy, freedom and triumph. I loved this book. Absolutely recommended!
