Faery Tales & Nightmares by Melissa Marr - ADVISABLE


Marr, Melissa Faery Tales & Nightmares, 432 p. HarperCollins, 2012.  $18.  Language: PG-13 (19 swears, 0 ‘f’); Mature Content: PG (light teen drinking); Violence: PG-13 (one vampire scene, descriptive “cosmetic surgery”).  Revisit the world of Wicked Lovely and go beyond, deeper into Melissa Marr’s head.  These short storied twine around and then intersect and come back to create a richer world.  

Personally I wish the Wicked Lovely based short stories were all together in a novella and that there were more stand alone stories in another book, but I will take them as I can get them.  The cosmetic surgery story made me a little queasy, I have to admit.  HS - ADVISABLE.  Cindy, Library Teacher
