A Beast by any Other Name by Logan Fox - I was lucky enough to read an early copy of this short story by Logan Fox. This author has become one of my favorites, because they truly go there and don’t hold back with their writing. A Beast by any Other Name is a twisted take on Beauty and the Beast. It is pretty dark and haunting, but for most of the story you’re not quite sure WHY it feels that way. I really can’t say too much, because this is a short one, and I don’t want to spoil, but yeah. It’s dark. It’s twisty. It’s full of triggering content even though most of it happens off page you will be aware of what happened. All in all a great read. I only marked down a star because some things that happened weren’t fully explained. I know that it’s probably hard to fit so much content into a short story eloquently, but yeah there are a few questions I still wish were answered! I can’t wait to check out the entire anthology on 3/26!
