Very interesting remix on some classic tales. This volume had a remix of Frankenstein that I found flat out amazing!! There are some other classic stories as well. This is a book upon release I plan to share with family and friends. It’s a wonderful display how to connect classic tales to a new audience in a well thought out and written way. A lot of love was given to each story and it shows. Hades and Persephone was truly beautiful. Juna and the Fox boy a remix of ”Beauty and the Beast” was one I enjoyed. I was surprised by the level of description of a romantic moment in the book(maybe because of how I associate this story), but very enjoyable none the less.

Anthologies are almost always a mixed bag. But, this one is an amazingly solid collection! First of all, the remix of Persephone and Hades was outstanding, fresh and believable, and just…good. Jane Erye was similarly good, although Goldi and the Three Bodies had me laughing at its horror. The gravity of spectacled boobies and angry Ocean from Gatsby was unexpectedly interesting. Even though it isn’t my genre, I really enjoyed Frankenstein, too. For those familiar with these stories, precious allusions and creative Easter eggs abound. You know, this was just a hell of a lot of fun to read. Definitely recommend!
