The twelve stories in this collection vary substantially in length; the majority take place in the world of Marr's Wicked Lovely series, which will attract fans (though may deter the uninitiated). The tales set in "other worlds" are short and insubstantial. Overall, these well-told fairy tales with a gothic patina are engaging.
