Vex Me No More
Summary
This is a very short collection of witch stories. Witches are often painted in a dichotomy as either old and “ugly” or young and beautiful, depending on what is popular in the moment. With centuries of history, this absolutely does the archetype a disservice. Witches can be any race, gender, or ethnicity imaginable. They can be cruel, violent, or be justified in the unique means by which they operate. Further, the witch narrative goes beyond the witches, to include several different elements - from commentary on humankind’s destruction of the environment to the age-old tale of revenge. This collection features five tales from the following authors: Christina Escamilla Janet Garber Angela Jackson-Rey Danielle Mullen Sarah Gribble The witches in these stories are anything but one-dimensional and are a great reflection of what witches are truly capable of.
