The foreword was beautiful! It was amazingly well phrased and full of emotion, but sadly not all of the stories had the same heart.
I’ll definitely check out some of the authors whose stories got a 5 stars!

Well written and terrifying. Feminist gore. Almost too gory for me, which is saying something. Be still, my beating heart!

Fantastic Anthology and a must-read!
The proceeds of this books go to a selection of charitable organizations that offer direct support services to survivors. This Anthology and the authors of these stories are raising money for survivors of harassment and abuse.
These stories contain strong themes like sexual abuse, harm to children, bodily harm, self-harm, child death, and several other descriptions of abuse.
“… we are alpha, the things with teeth and claws and hearts of hot blood, and we stand side by fucking side, as a pack, and you can hear us singing, if you listen.
And we don’t much care whether or not you like our song, because the time for that had long passed.
For we are wolves.”

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.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
