A collection of short stories from a range of authors on women, the harridans, the sirens and the spitfires!
I particularly loved the foreword:
I particularly loved the foreword:
"Warning - this is a book of wild writing. If you are a woman please make sure you are up to it. Have you girded your loins? Quelled your hysteria? Asked your husbands permission?"
As with most short story collections there will always be favourites and stories I've enjoyed less so! Particular ones enjoyed with Tygress, Fury and Termangent. Some authors have a writing style I just don't vibe with as much (sorry Kirsty Logan!). As always I think short story collections are excellent ways of dipping your toe into a bunch of different authors to see what you might like.
Overall excellent!
