Disappointing. When the collection was just being advertised, it was promising stories centering around female characters from Lovecraft's stories and collaborations, but it seems that authors couldn't amass enthusiasm to write enough stories to fill the collection, so the half of the book consists of tales that are about original characters and mostly have very little to do with Mythos or Lovecraftian literature. And even most stories about Lovecraft's characters here don't engage with them deeply and often are focused on original characters too. As a result, what could have been an original and enriching concept turned into an another generic "we are going to fix Lovecraft" book.

Stories that I liked the most: "Eight Seconds", "Hairwork", "Turn Out the Light", "Violet is the Color of Your Energy", "Body to Body to Body", "Notes Found in a Decomissioned Asylum".
