Gordon White’s delightful Southern Gothic “Hair Shirt Drag” serves as an amuse-bouche for this anthology and lets you know from the start that you won’t be reading your typical old witch stories. The tales of Wrapped in Black span from the Inquisition to a dark and gritty future and range from dying farmland in middle-America to seemingly typical sprawling suburbs. There I found witches trashy, wicked, and wise whom I loved, hated, and pitied. In “Unto the Earth,” Patrick C. Greene reminded me that the worst revenge is sometimes the one we inflict on ourselves. Rose Blackthorn created a lovely and dark dystopia in “Beautiful, Broken Things.” Mike Lester’s “Not This Time” left me wondering through to the end and beyond. I seldom give 5 stars to an anthology because there are inevitably some unpalatable stories in them. This one I loved from start to finish. The worst story in it was still an exciting read. I received a free e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I liked it enough to order and pay for a paperback copy as well. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Read all the books in the WRAPPED Series *Wrapped In Red: Thirteen Tales of Vampiric Horror *Wrapped In White: Thirteen Tales of Spectres, Ghosts, and Spirits *Wrapped in Black: Thirteen Tales of Witches and the OccultWe know the legends. Human beings, just like us--but schooled in the ways of circumventing the very rules of nature. They've been condemned, burned, driven underground. But that least understood and most variable of supernatural personae, The Witch, remains a source of fascination and fear the world over. They walk among us, plying their skills, stealing our hearts -and perhaps other pieces of us- for purposes known only to them.In this boiling brew, you'll taste not only eye of newt and wing of bat, but wrathful scorn, summoned spirits, and pierced veils that bleed wonders dark and delicious. Straddle the whisk and travel the worlds of Witchcraft, Voodoo and eleven worlds 'twixt. But be careful not to fall...in love or into the abyss. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
