First, thank you to @blackspotbooks for an ARC of this title through @netgalley. This collection of short stories caught my attention right away, as I had not previously known very much about Baba Yaga (the folklore witch that lives in the woods in her house with chicken legs). As I researched her a bit, I realized there was a ton of variety on the lore pertaining to Baba; she was both a villain and the hero for many. I found that the collection of short stories written by female-identifying horror writers captured the complex idea and interpretations of Baba Yaga. I loved that she was loving in kind in many stories, as well as dangerous and vengeful. I found myself laughing, wanting to cry, and frequently rooting for her (even when I probably shouldn’t be). The writing was strong, the stories were compelling, and the collection was education overall. I would recommend checking out this one when it releases this fall!
