If you thought Alice and the Jabberwocky were strange enough in the original tale, you'll have a lot more odd characters to think about now...
Tor Books and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published December 12th.
These tales are dark and some of them are horror tales but my favorite ones were the ones that were just a bit odd.
My favorites were:
Mercury by Prya Sharma
All the King's Men by Jeffrey Ford (starring Humpty Dumpty)
The Flame After the Candle by Cathrynne M Valente (a bunch of short tales used to make a whole)
Moon Memory and Madness by Katherine Vaz
None of the tales are usual, none are boring and many made me go: "Oh!" The writer's words flow well and they will entertain you.
I'd recommend you don't read this one late in the evening...
