adventurous
dark
mysterious
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
Just finished 'More Deadly Than The Male', an anthology of gothic horror/ghost stories written by female writers.
This anthology included several little known stories and authors. In fact, when looking up several of the stories on Goodreads to get a feel for what the stories where about, I ended up personally inputting many of the stories onto the database myself as they weren't there.
Each story is preceded by a small biography about the author (sometimes more interesting than the proceeding story) as well.
As it is an anthology, some stories are better than others, but overall the stories are well-written and engaging.
I definitely recommend it to fans of gothic horror.
