To those who spent their youth amongst the library stacks seeking a mirror. 

I received an ARC through NetGalley and my review is voluntary and honest.

Scissor Sisters is an anthology of sapphic horror and villains, and it has a wide range of stories - women turning into monsters for revenge, women killing the women they love for whatever reason, body horror, plant sex, cannibalism, haunted houses... There's a lot. Like in all anthologies, some stories hit better than others, but I found my own favourites. Overall, the stories are well-arranged to have many different styles while also keeping to the main topic of sapphic horror.

The anthology has a list of content warnings for each story at the end, which is useful for people who have some specific triggers, since there is certainly A Lot in these stories.

Some shout-outs:
- You Oughta Be In Pictures by Anastasia Dziekan, where a woman discovers she can't die when her lover tries to kill her for a snuff movie.
- Pilgrim of Worlds by M.S.Dean - About a woman who guards the crossroads between worlds, and waits for many different versions of her lover to find her way there again and again.
- Gingerbread Red by Chloe Spencer - Gretel grows up and tracks down her brother's killer.
- Conversations with Roe by Alex Luceli Jiménez - A woman kills her lover, but she refuses to leave even when dead.
- The Turner House Heritage Tour by Caitlin Marceau - My only note for this story was "DAMN. RUTHLESS."

The collection ends with a bonus story that doesn't strictly fit the others, and it's the only story about queer men instead of queer women. This in itself wouldn't be a problem, but honestly I found it a bit baffling, so maybe not the best note to end on. Then again, it's all subjective and maybe other people will like that story more.
