Robin's Review: It is a memorable collection of short stories with a wide range of tales. My favorite was retelling The Little Red Riding Hood classic fairy tale. This is the 2nd reimagined “Red” story I have read, and I enjoyed it immensely, but this one, "The Butcher," takes the cake. I like the feeling of connection with the author when he wrote some of the behind-the-scenes stuff.  All in all a fun and entertaining quick read.

It was my pleasure to receive a free copy of this book but that does not in any way affect my opinions in this review of this entertaining story.
