Hag: Forgotten Folktales Retold by Imogen Hermes Gowar, Naomi Booth, Emma Glass, Irenosen Okojie, Daisy Johnson, Natasha Carthew, Eimear McBride, Liv Little, Mahsuda Snaith, Kirsty Logan
4.0
4.5/5
I enjoyed the book and while the foreword did say these would not be lighthearted tales, I think I was still caught off-guard. I enjoyed the retellings, the new life sprung into these stories, and am impressed by the feminist-horror takes of many of the tales. I probably should not have read this book when already feeling down as it was not the most uplifting, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.
