Dark Furies by Danielle Ackley-McPhailDescription: Back Cover Copy
Damsels in Distress?
NOT HARDLY!
Snow White and the Evil Queen, Beauty and the Beast, Antigone and Creon, Dorothy and the Wicked
Witch, Fay Wray and King Kong, Joan de Arc and the Catholic Church, Minnie Mouse and that darn
Peg Leg Pete...
Throughout the history of the world, women have had to cope with horrors of every shape and size.
Some of these monsters have been evil incarnate, some have simply been misunderstoodóall of
them have been left to the fairer sex to handle.
This timesless idea is now revisited by 15 of today's most creative writers as they look at the idea of
women and monsters from every angle possible.
First up, talented newcomers Jan Rukh, Laszlo Q.V. St-J. Xalieri, Ed Hickox, and Rose Fox set a
serious tone with four terrific dramas, all set in different genres.
After that, it's time for comedy as sreenwriter Rick Leider charms us with a fairy tale gone deliciously
wrong, while the always hilarious Adam Knave delivers a wacky vision of demons run-amuck on a
children's TV show.
Not to be outdone Messrs. John French and James Chambers both deliver stories of supernatural
investigation guaranteed to set just the right tone for our expert team of horror specialists.
Yest, it's an all-star line-up as Michael Amorel, Ron Fortier, Patrick Thomas, Danielle Ackley-McPhail
and William Jones dazzle the entire audience, from the orchestra to those in the cheap seats, with
five towering tales of titanic terror which no reader will forget anytime soon.
Then, the ever-unpredictable CJ Henderson hogs as much space as he can delivering two stories
for review-one a tale of Lovecraftian feminism, then a second we think is destined to become a Die
Monster Die! classic!
Also in this series are Bad-Ass Faeries, Hear Them Roar, Sails and Sorcery, Bad-Ass Faeries 2: Just Plain Bad, So It Begins, Bad-Ass Faeries 3: In All Their Glory
