Fifteen tales tinged with darkness, where vampires and werewolves roam and familiar fairytales take on overtones of blood and vengeance.

Note: Some of these stories are not suitable for sensitive readers, but my story, Cat in Combat Boots, is just plain fun. In it, Beatrice, the intrepid grandma from I Bring the Fire finally gets her “man.” Yelf Reviews by Kay McSpadden is also very fun, but don’t drink tea while reading it! You’ll ruin your computer screen.
