Monstrous Affections: An Anthology of Beastly Tales by Kelly Link, Gavin J. Grant
Moriabe's Children / Paolo Bacigalupi --
Old souls / Cassandra Clare --
Ten rules for being an intergalactic smuggler (the successful kind) / Holly Black --
Quick hill / M.T. Anderson --
The diabolist / Nathan Ballingrud --
This whole demoning thing / Patrick Ness --
Wings in the morning / Sarah Rees Brennan *** - Conceptually good and the self realisation of being a monster was realistic, but I didn't care about most of the characters.
Left foot, right / Nalo Hopkinson --
The Mercurials / G. Carl Purcell --
Kitty Capulet and the invention of underwater photography / Dylan Horrocks ** - I would have liked to know more about the myth and creature. The h's passion for photography was interesting but the plot development was rushed. A novella might have helped flesh out the story better.
Son of abyss / Nik Houser --
A small wild magic / Kathleen Jennings *** - Cute light comic strip. I'd definitely like to know more about this myth which was so different from djinn.
The new boyfriend / Kelly Link *** - The teenage mean girl shenanigans kept me entertained and proved that humans can be monsters too.
The woods hide in plain sight / Joshua Lewis --
Mothers, lock up your daughters because they are terrifying / Alice Sola Kim
