A review by saguaros
Monstrous Affections: An Anthology of Beastly Tales by Gavin J. Grant, Kelly Link
4.0
favourite stories:
Moriabe's Children - Paolo Bacigalupi
Quick Hill - M. T. Anderson
The Diabolist - Nathan Ballingrud
The Mercurials - G. Carl Purcell
Son of Abyss - Nik Houser
Mothers, Lock Up Your Daughters Because They Are Terrifying - Alice Sola Kim
Although those are my favourites, I didn't dislike any of the stories in this collection. Some left me pretty lukewarm or meh, but most were okay to great. The only one I skipped was the Holly Black story due to its second person POV.
