This book is a great cluster of Holly Black's short stories that most have been published in other books previously. I was very entertain with the stories, they showcase Holly's humor. The stories contain a little of everything for everyone to enjoy. You have your Faeries, Vampires and Shape Shifters. Get ready to be sucked in to Holly's dark ways and again the humor.
List of Stories: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, A Reversal of Fortune, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Night Market, The Dog King, Virgin, In Vodka Veritas, The Coat of Stars, Paper Cuts Scissors, Going Inside, The Land of Heart's Desire, The Poison Eaters.
Summary: (from Barnes & Noble) Poisonous girls whose kisses will kill. A fateful eating contest with the devil. Faeries who return to Ironside, searching for love. A junior prom turned bacchanalia. In twelve short stories, eerie and brimming with suspense and unexpected humor, Holly Black twists the fantastical creatures you thought you knew in ways you’ll never expect.
