More About This Book

Overview

We're all afraid of monsters. They coil in our subconscious, slither along the edges of thought. Still we creep to the crackling fire to whisper their stories.

Love Devours is a collection of new fables for queer women, extracted from the bones of the dark: ominous fairy tales, sinister myths, dystopias rife with nightmares. But in the midst of monsters, love still struggles to find the light.

A witch traps a beast of the sea; a corpse is reanimated out of love; a muse drains her supplicant; a priestess worships in a church of wolves. Six monster stories lurk within these pages. Six heroines, sometimes monsters themselves, unearth romance, rebuild worlds, shatter spells. Their courage unveils the secret faces of humankind's greatest compulsions: fear and love.

Come into the dark and be devoured.

Love Devours: Tales of Monstrous Adoration is Sarah Diemer's first anthology, a collection of queer dark fantasy and science fiction stories.

    There are six stories in this anthology. I'm going to break down

    There are six stories in this anthology. I'm going to break down the review for each story. I will go over them in the order I read them. : )

    1. "Far" is a zombie story. It's told from two points of view. It's very sad and also quite lovely. It has a unique twist that I didn't see coming. And I always enjoy that.

    2. "The Witch Sea" was very interesting. It had an ending I wasn't expecting. Another exciting aspect to the stories in this anthology.

    3. "Seek" was probably my favorite of these six. It was twisted and fantastic and all around amazing. I think I had some wicked laughter bubbling after that ending. Mmuuaahahahahaha!

    4. "Our Lady of Wolves" is about a young girl who tries to save her dwindling village from an evil in the forest. She asks for the help of our lady of wolves, a spirit who others have stopped believing in, but we find out does exist.

    5. "We Grow Accustomed to the Dark" was my least favorite in this anthology. I liked the characters and their relationship, but I felt like the ending was a bit abrupt.

    6. "The Forever Star" was my other favorite. It was so beautiful it made me cry.

    I really enjoyed the characters. And I enjoyed the worlds. Kinda. I say "kinda" because they were all unique and interesting, but... worlds ending, the earth being destroyed, the rapture... dangerous places that are fun to read about but not to visit. Haha!

    Sarah Diemer writes some of the most interesting fiction I've read recently. Interesting and unique. With YA literature, it's rare to find an author that is constantly coming out with completely unique stories. There's something about them where you can tell the author is the same, but you won't feel like you've read them somewhere before. And that is quite refreshing!
