Women of Darkness

Rating:
Summary: Interesting concept, spotty quality
Review: The quality of the stories in "Women of Darkness" varies wildly, and many of them are amateurish, but anyone who's interested in both horror and women's issues will enjoy it anyway because it's fascinating to see a gender-specific take on fear. (We've got three child molesters, three unfaithful husbands, an abusive mother, a serial rapist ...) The best of the stories (like Tanith Lee's "The Devil's Rose" and Kit Reed's "Baby) could stand their own anywhere.
