February Femmes Fatales

Publisher Marketing: Edited by Lily Childs - a collection of dark and wicked words from twenty-three women, the FEBRUARY FEMMES FATALES. From quick sips of short, sharp micro-fiction to full-length stories; from poetry to a novel tease, 'February Femmes Fatales - the book' dishes out fear by the bucketload. Noir, horror, crime, myths. Travel in time. Be reborn. Take revenge. Meet demons. Dally with ghosts. Fight gun totin' kick-ass gals with gumption... and dig deeper, where you'll encounter war crimes, murder and foul-play. Not to mention a deadly dose of darkest humour. The writers have offered up a smokin' selection of dark fiction and poetry which will make your skin crawl, have you wiping away tears or laughing out loud. May they terrify and unnerve you. Sweet dreams. The authors: Absolutely*KateAsuqiR. S. BohnLily ChildsErin ColeDorothy DaviesSandra DaviesMarissa FarrarEllie GarrattSue HardingAnna HarrisHelen A. HowellA. J.
