Monstrous Beauty eBook Marie Brennan
These are super-short stories, more like story outlines or ideas she jotted down on the back of a napkin and meant to flesh out later. The ideas are very original, so if you like her work you might well want to buy this in spite of the lack of length.Product details

Monstrous Beauty eBook Marie Brennan Reviews
A collection of seven short re-worked fairy tales, very evocative and well worth reading if your tolerance for horror is not low. They all live up to the title. Definitely recommended.
Note i received this ebook through the librarything early reviewers club in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars
Nice bunch of flash-fiction classic fairy tales’ retellings. Not all of them worked for me, but most of them did. And I agree with the author my favorite is also the touching “Waiting for Beauty”. Recommended. And, in any case, being so short, even if you don’t like it you will have wasted less than half an hour.
I received this book free through LibraryThing in exchange for my review. Brennan's writing is lush and descriptive, and her re-imagining of these classic tales is wonderful. My only complaints are that the stories (1) became a little repetitive in nature and (2) are too short. Understandably, Brennan tells the reader that the stories are meant to be short, but they are SO short that it leaves something to be desired. There is clearly room for Brennan to expand the stories, or use her background in folklore to further explore the "damsel in distress" and "monstrous feminine" tropes.
These are super-short stories, more like story outlines or ideas she jotted down on the back of a napkin and meant to flesh out later. The ideas are very original, so if you like her work you might well want to buy this in spite of the lack of length.
