Strange Girls: Women in Horror Anthology by Azzurra Nox
3.0
24 Hour Diner - 2 stars, awkward writing but fun premise
Sideshow - 4 Stars, a solid story that really fit the collection
The Doll's House - 4 Stars, another good one.
Blood - 2 Stars. A very short fantasy story that just sort of ... stops.
Self-Portrait with Pears - 3 Stars. Well-written but I didn't really get how this fit the collection's theme.
Personal Demons - 1 Star. Liked the non-binary character, but wow that writing was bad.
Friends with Benefits - 2 Stars. Very cheesy, not well-written.
Night Terrors - 3 Stars. A fun twisty story.
The Girl Who Never Stopped Bleeding - 3 Stars, wish it was longer.
Leda and the Fly - 4 Stars, this was a fun weird little story.
Jenny's Bobo - 3 Stars, really liked this but I wanted more!
Extinguishing Fireflies - 4 Stars, silly but in a fun way.
The Eyes of the Dead - 4 Stars, this one was really messed up.
My Mirror Wife - 3 Stars, a little cheesy but okay writing
Patterns of Faerytales - 3 Stars, love a selkie story, but this wasn't written particularly well.
Campfire Tales: The Bloody Rings - 5 stars, simple but effective.
Cracked - 3 Stars. It was fine.
Angel of Death - 5 Stars, really enjoyed this. I could read a whole novel about this.
Her Garden Grows - 4 Stars. This was a weird one that I didn't quite get but still enjoyed.
Revival - 3 Stars. Solid writing, but not a premise that really appealed to me.
A Song Only She Can Hear - 4 Stars. A really good mermaid story.
Tribal Influence - 4 Stars, fun story, felt like the opening of a video game.
So a pretty mixed bag overall. I received this arc from Netgalley.
