Queens of the Abyss: Lost Stories from the Women of the Weird by Mike Ashley

4.0

I was worried I might regret reading this at bed time but they weren't as terrifying as I'd feared. I loved the variety in the stories, some were ghosty, some myths and fables and others were more sci-fi so it was a good mix.
I don't think I've ever read anything by any if the author's in the collection (maybe The Secret Garden?) and I definitely found some of them easier to read than others, but that's mostly due to my inability to read older prose! It was interesting how the language and way of writing changed as the years the stories came from moved towards the present day.
