The One That Got Away- Published by Kandisha Press
“The One That Got Away” is a great collection of short stories by an excellent selection of female authors.
30 women authors answered the call to write about “The One That Got Away” and these tales contain all the anger, grief and wrath of women scorned and the fury that hides deep inside.
You will read about all kinds of love gone wrong and the wrath that was dealt. It makes for one truly awesome read and highlights how scary a vengeful female can really be. Tread lightly, gentlemen, tread lightly!
Many of these authors were new to me and it was such an enjoyable way to be introduced to so much immense talent. There are far too many stories in this collection to just pick out a favorite, but I will list a couple below that I really enjoyed.
Dawn DeBraal pens a great tale in “Invasive Species.” I loved everything about this story of pettiness gone wrong. If you know what a garden club is or your neighborhood has “friendly” best lawn or best garden competitions, then you will love this story.
“From Scratch” by Sonora Taylor made me giggle with glee at the dark thoughts of the main character. I know that I am not the only person that will relate to this tale of a woman desperately trying to scratch a dark itch in creative ways. I really enjoyed this tale a lot.
Marsheila Rockwell tells us a very unsettling tale about “The Recliner” which made me think of my childhood and some of my fears. Sometimes, children know when to be afraid, but the adults around them are not able to take heed. One small boy attempts to protect his mother from his fear, with astounding results. I did not see the end coming and I bet neither did he. This was a very well-written story that I related to on more than one level.
These are but a few of the remarkable stories in this collection. It is a terrific book to read at any time of year, but won’t you consider picking it up this month and supporting these excellent women in horror?
