Book Review: Self-Made Monsters by Rebecca Cuthbert

Published by Alien Buddha Press.

I was eager to read this so one very hot weekend I settled down with this book and a drink, and once I started I couldn’t stop.

This is a collection of short stories and poems, something different to my normal read and this took me out of my comfort zone.

This book is about women, women as victims, as villains and as winners. And it also features our world. These are horror stories and not for the faint hearted.  Some of the stories are strange. Some are scary, but all will make you think. In every collection there will always be a favourite, and this collection is no different: “The Vultures Remain” tells the story of grief and how we can manage those holes that are left with us. This book left me thinking about myself, about women and it left me wanting more from the author. Thanks to the author for the pdf copy.
