I got the second volume earlier than the first, so I ended up reading it first...
When I saw authors I follow on Twitter talking about these journals, they immediately became must-reads. Giving the spotlight to women and non-binary authors to talk about issues related to the paranormal is a breath of fresh air, and I found lots of new authors, podcasters and other spooky figures to follow. I expected that I would enjoy some essays more than others, but I was surprised at how overall captivating the entire collection would be. My original goal was to read one or two a day - instead I tore through the collection. My favorites were probably the essays on the nature of hoaxes in shaping paranormal history, and (related), the myth of the "dybbuk box," which I was horrified to confirm can be found for sale on Etsy...

The Feminine Macabre is a collection of stories and articles written by women about the paranormal and the supernatural.
You can find my rating and thoughts on all the stories in the activity for this book.
I love this book series so much. The curator of this book clearly has a passion for the paranormal and bringing fascinating stories with differing view points to the forefront. I find myself leaving these books learning more than I knew before. I love the opportunity to see other's opinions and learn from them as far as their thoughts on the paranormal and the supernatural.
I appreciate that this book came with trigger warnings for different content inside as well. It helps to let people know before hand in case they wish to skip over something that maybe triggering.
One of my favorite parts was the fact that this book included non-binary authors as well. Their stories were really special and I cherished them.
I look forward to continuing on with this series as I really enjoyed this installment.
