The penultimate story in this collection is reimagined fairytale combining The Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty as science fiction. It's fang-tastic.

This collection is unusual, and wonderful and thought-provoking all at once. I'm impressed at the modern reimaginings of traditional fairytales in new genres like "cyberpunk" and "slipstream". It's marvellous.

This collection is really something. Great. It's really great. I re-read Evan Dickens short story to my partner because I liked it that much. It's a beauty (and hilarious too).

I never thought I'd see a sci-fi reimagining of Tom Thumb, but this collection has it and it was fantastic.

The first two short stories ("Six Rusalki" and "The Waters At The End of the Worlds") were interesting, particularly as I hadn't read the originals they were based on, or read anything by those authors before. I'm reading them during work breaks too which is a nice way to break up the day.
