Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine.
Two & Twenty Dark Tales
I mean don't you totally want to know if Jack has an evil twin? I love re-tellings of fairy-tales. Especially ones similar to the originals. I know it's weird, but I like to see the darker sides. It's more interesting than just cupcakes and smiley-faces! Give me the grit and the intrigue. So, Mother Goose plus the Dark Side (don't forget the cookies) seems like an equation for AWESOME-SAUCE. Don't you agree?
Two & Twenty Dark Tales
In this anthology, 20
authors explore the dark and hidden meanings behind some of the most
beloved Mother Goose nursery rhymes through short story retellings. The
dark twists on classic tales range from exploring whether Jack truly
fell or if Jill pushed him instead to why Humpty Dumpty, fragile and
alone, sat atop so high of a wall.
Why I'm Waiting:
Yes yes I know. I'm waiting on an anthology of all things. And I like NEVER read anthologies. So why in the world do I care about this one? *ahem*

And that is why I'm eagerly hyperventilating for Two And Twenty Dark Tales.

Ohh this sounds really interesting. Anthologies tend to frustrate me a lot. Most of them have all these amazing stories but no solid closure. Thanks for sharing!

I hardly ever read anthologies, so I hope this one will live up to expectations!
DeleteI love anthologies. Thanks for sharing :)

Welcome! Stopping by your blog!
DeleteSounds interesting. I only ever buy anthologies if I'm after a particular story - then i rarely bother to read the other stories.
ReplyDeleteIKR? Let's hope it's good all around.
DeleteI saw this the other day, maybe on Netgalley, and thought it sounded great too!

YAY! I know right? I got it but I've not been able to read it yet. Sadness!

ReplyDeleteCheck out my post.
It's definitely fun to get out of your reading comfort zone every once in a while. This does sound pretty twisted. Make sure you tell us if Jack has an evil twin!

Thanks for the follow Jenna! Yes I totally agree. Sometimes the more you read one kind of thing I think you start noticing cliches more and not appreciating the books as much. It's probably happened to me plenty of times. Following back!
