kbeucler's review against another edition
3.0
I got this book because sometimes when you submit stories to certain presses, they ask you to pay money or get a copy of one of the books they’ve published. So this was the one I picked. It’s a collection of short stories that echo or retell dark fairytales. It does remind me of the work of Angela Carter in its darkness and subversiveness. It was enjoyable, fresh, imaginative, and the prose was clean.

I love these stories! They are dark, surreal, mythic, and, at times, grotesque. Lau knows how to use her sentence structure to create a sense of unease.
