My Review:
Yeah, this book was a fantastic read! I loved all the different stories, there was a variety of genres, but they were all retellings of stories that were set roughly in the same genre. Basically horror. And YA is just so wide, it can encompass a variety of genres, it's a big reason why I love it so much!
One of my favourite stories in this was Rin Chupeco's, because of the way it was told, it was the narrator telling the story to a friend, basically. And it was such an interesting mystery, and that twist was pretty epic! Loved how it ended!
I really enjoyed the worlds of the Emily Lloyd-Jones's story, as well as Lamar Giles's and Fran Wilde, The first and the last were both futuristic, and I really enjoyed the details that were in them, and Lamar Giles was an interesting paranormal mystery, and was so interesting to read!
One thing is that this book also contained the original stories that this anthology were retelling. And the style of the writing, it just wasn't for me, so I didn't read them. As I loved the ideas and pop culture from the original stories, the writing style just wasn't for me.
This was a fantastic, creepy, wonderful anthology, and I enjoyed it a lot!
