The Curiosities: A Collection of Stories (The Curiosities #1)
- A vampire locked in a cage in the basement, for good luck.
- Bad guys, clever girls, and the various reasons why the guys have to stop breathing.
- A world where fires never go out (with references to vanilla ice cream).
These are but a few of the curiosities collected in this volume of short stories by three acclaimed practitioners of paranormal fiction.
But The Curiosities is more than the stories. Since 2008, Maggie, Tessa, and Brenna have posted more than 250 works of short fiction to their website merryfates.com. Their goal was simple: create a space for experimentation and improvisation in their writing—all in public and without a backspace key. In that spirit, The Curiosities includes the stories and each author's comments, critiques, and kudos in the margins. Think of it as a guided tour of the creative processes of three acclaimed authors.

This was a really enjoyable collection of weird, fun, emotive short stories. I picked this up for 50¢ at my library's bookstore, and boy, was it worth it! Not every story in the collection blew me away, and in terms of numbers there were probably more that I just found kind of interesting but not particularly memorable--but the ones that I remembered, boy, did those have an impact. My favorites were The Vampire Box, Girls Raised by Wolves, Date with a Dragon Slayer, The Spiral Table, The Wind
Fun, quirky, enjoyable. Definitely recommend for fantasy or magical realism fans.

This book is a small gem, a unique and curious world of bizarre, poetic, sometimes sad and disturbing stories. One thing note is
