Hell's Grannies: Kickass Tales of the Crone
Aging is not for the faint-hearted, yet there is little choice in the matter. You can take good care of your health, your finances, your loved ones and still life will throw a curve ball.
In this anthology you will find tales of courage, of women who rise to the challenges of time in many different ways.
Some stories are of women aging gracefully but their tales are still kickass because they have a lot to overcome. Other stories are humorous, because if you can’t age gracefully, then by all means age disgracefully. Indeed humor may be the best tonic and part of the wisdom of the Crone.
Ten talented authors give their take on the theme of Grannies from Hell.

"Hell's Grannies: Kickass Tales of the Crone" was a fast, fun read. Maybe it's my age (older than I care to admit), but I love seeing mature women in the spotlight, and all the stories in this book definitely shine that spotlight well. Not all the stories are genres I read (ex. I'm not a paranormal or horror reader), but I think they're all well-written. Whoever chose the tales for this anthology did a great job; not a clunker in the bunch.
My favorite story, "Burning Michelangelo," is by Annemarie Schiavi Pedersen. I love that it's set during the Renaissance, an era not explored enough in fiction (IMO). Her writing is colorful, descriptive, and expansive--perfect for a story set in Italy. And her heroine, Simona, is a granny who kicks ass with the best of them.
Other stories I particularly enjoyed were "Eurydice," by Patricia Cochrane, and "Watchers of Old" by Judith Rook. But really, as I said, all the stories are well-written. Great job highlighting a too-often forgotten type of heroine, April Grey!
