Short story anthology with a nice twist - each story focuses on "bad girls" - most mythological in origin. Probably the thing I enjoyed the most about the collection was the wide array of authors, particularly the fact that there were quite a few new to me so I got to sample the fare. As with any anthology, some stories shine brighter than others, but unlike most anthologies, this one didn't have any works that I felt like I was forcing myself to read. If you like short fantasy/myth fiction with a feminist twist (or is that twisted feminist?), give this one a try.

Some interesting twists on old stories about all the "bad" mythological women.
