Weird Women

Some of the stories were pretty good but quite a few were really unmemorable.

Ever since I read [b:Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction 44326161 Monster, She Wrote The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction Lisa Kröger https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1552268790l/44326161.SY75.jpg 68879371] last year, I've been obsessed with reading a lot of these authors whose work I had never really stumbled upon. I am now a huge Gaskell fan (Lois the Witch is crazy good).This anthology hit the mark for including many of those authors, and some new ones too. It's so hard to review an anthology. There is always going to be a story or two that I loved and a story or two that didn't work for me, but I think Weird Women kills it with finding works that are hidden gems and are really, really good reads. New favorites: The Were-Wolf, In the Closed Room, Lost in a Pyramid, What Was the Matter?, An Itinerant House (actually had a dream about this story the night I read it. A moving haunted house? Unlike anything I've EVER read before!!!), The Giant Wistaria, The Lady With the Carnations, The Wind in the Rose-Bush, and The Third Drug. Seriously, that's a lot of new favorites- all in one collection.I hope they are working on a second collection!
