teawithantigone: This book This book is so many things! Burning Girls and Other Stories is a collection of genre-blending short stories by Veronica Schanoes. Schanoes is a professor of English literature, specialising in folklore and fairytales. She draws on this knowledge, subverting stories we grew up with—as well as ones most readers might not be familiar with. Her characters are often women at the margins of society, living in worlds that are bizarre and fantastical yet uncannily (often disturbingly and sickeningly) familiar. While I gather my thoughts about it (review on its way in the next issue of Antigone), here are some quotes: “What I am about to tell you is a fairytale and so it is constantly repeating.” “Pull yourself together, she screamed at herself silently, but the thread of being remained slack.” “Don’t eat your friends. It’s rude.” QOTD: What fairytale freaked you out the most when you were a kid?https://www.instagram.com/p/CNYEwGNLLRp/?igshid=9wfpn5lst0ig -- source link
