THE TOE SCENE (EXTRACT - THE MUDER GIRLS) – Christine Morgan (It’s a cautionary tale, really.) 5/5Ī short story about revenge - quick, but neat. Tupperware parties are so boring - but not this one! You definitely don’t take advantage of a woman’s hospitality, then sleep with her husband. This is one of the funnier stories in the book. When some little brats hurt her child and the other moms laugh, one mother gets her revenge… 4/5Ī classic slasher camp story, with a little twist. The apple usually doesn’t fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to bullies. I’m not big on ghost stories either, but this was well-written. LEGEND OF THE NAMELESS ISLAND – Red LagoeĪnother story with a YA feel … it’s just not my style. This had a slight YA feel, which negatively affected my rating. Wow! I’m not sure this man’s crime was worth the punishment, but he definitely got his. I was pumping my fist with this one! It’s so nice when a bully gets what’s coming. 2/5Īs the title would suggest, this one is about abortion, but overall it’s about people who think they have the right to judge and bully others. I could almost see where it took a wrong turn, and it never really recovered. Sex so good that it can kill … this wasn’t one of my favorites in this anthology, but it was a decent story.
Sometimes people just aren’t nice, and they need to go! Gossiping bitches, line up… 3.5/5 If “Mean Girls” ended not with a trust fall, but murder, you’d have something close to this story. This reminded me a little of the movie “Promising Young Woman”, which I also loved. Some men are so gross, and this is another well-written story of a woman who’s had enough of the typical bar-scene guy. This is an anthem to all who have to deal with the nightmare of the public, and a very well-written story. When a photographer reaches her limit, a Karen gets what she deserves. Think of all the wannabe beatnik poets we could’ve been saved from. My only complaint is that I wanted more … more killing. I’ve been Twitter/Instagram friends with Somer for years, so I can’t believe this is the first time I’m reading her writing! I loved this story about horrific things happening in your classic ‘90s coffee shop. Don’t mess with a mama bear (or wolf) you’ll lose every time. Here we go - the book is off with a bang! This was a very short story about a mother’s revenge after her son is bullied. After getting my hands on the ARC, I had a feeling that I’d love this book, and I wasn’t wrong! Gory, gruesome and full of girl power, this was definitely one for me.
A slasher horror anthology, completely written by women, sounded right up my alley.
