Be Wary and Beware.... There are tales that every parent knows and must pass on to their child... Tales of warning and terror...of those who break their vows and kill for no reason other than malice. Tales of saving the lovely princess from a prince that is much less than charming...and what it takes to bring her home, of rescuing babes from parents not fit to raise them, and the reason no supernatural can truly win a bargain with such vile creatures. These are Human Tales. Tales by: Ivan Ewert, Matthew McFarland, Seanan McGuire, Ari Marmell, Chuck Wendig, Sara M. Harvey, Spencer Ellsworth, Ryan Macklin, Jess Hartley, Shannon Page, Dylan Birtolo, Deborah Brannon, Alma Alexander, Renee Stern, David Lee Summers, James Sutter, Nathan Crowder.… (más)
Really wanted to like this collection. The idea of it, a look at fairy tales from the flip side, is appealing. But the reality left me wanting something entirely different. Most of the stories are grim, no pun intended. And not just in the traditional cautionary tale sense. They lack... depth and feeling, perhaps? And more than a couple stretch pretty thin to make their points. As always with a collection like this, the purchase is a gamble. This time sadly, I lost. ( )
