Fangs for the Mammaries by Escher Friesner Book Review

Fangs for the Mammaries is the third suburban fantasy anthology by Escher Friesner.  As with the other two anthologies it is a collection of short stories by different authors with a common theme.  For this book the theme is vampires living in suburbia.

Like the other two books the stories in this one explore the trials and tribulations of vampires in our modern world.  Whether its a vampire field trip to the mall with werewolf security guards or the poor confused undead after the twilight movies bring teenage snacks, I mean girls, to their doors, these short stories are a funny, entertaining, and thoughtful look at vampires in the burbs.  In addition much like its predecessors this book contains continuations of the previous books short stories.

This book is good for anyone who loves vampires, and modern fantasy.  It is particularly good if you want a story that you don't have to devote a lot of time to since they all stand alone.

This book can be purchased as an e-book or in print at www.amazon.com.

Strip Mauled by Esther Friesner book review.

Strip Mauled is the second anthology of short stories by Escher Friesner that mashes up myths and legends and modern suburbia.  Like the first book Witch Way to the Mall the short stories are by many different authors, but they all have the same theme.  This books Theme is werewolves in suburbia.  The stories are all hilarious, and are individually lightweight bits of good entertainment.

These stories look all take different looks at how your local moon loving furry friends would have to adapt to modern life, and how modern life would adapt to them.  From the lone human who accidentally joins an all werewolf software firm, to the security guards at the local mall you don't want to mess with around the full moon one tale after another has a humorous or ironic take on just how well, or poorly, werewolves would fit into our modern lifestyle.

These books are a good read for anyone who enjoys humorous paranormal stories.  They are fun bite size chunks of modern day myth and legend fried up suburban style.  Also anyone who read Witch Way to the Mall will want to pick this one up as some of the stories are continued.

This book is available at www.amazon.com as an e-book or in print.

Witch way to the Mall by Esther Friesner book review

This book is an anthology of short stories by different authors so I cant follow my standard format on this one.  All of the short stories in this book follow the same theme:  witches in suburbia.  The various authors use their own take on witches of folklore, and project them into modern times in the suburbs.  The result is hilarious and all of the stories were a lot of fun to read.  This a great book to pick up when you don't have a lot of time to devote to a story but still want something good and funny to pass the time.  It is also good for introducing you to many authors at once.

Witch Way to the Mall is the first book in a series of three so far and if some of the stories leave you wanting for more just pick up the next book.  Many of them have sequel stories with different themes.  The books in this series are Witch Way to the Mall, Strip Mauled, and Fangs for the Mammaries.  I will be writing reviews for them next.

These books will appeal to people who enjoy modern fantasy,  I would say urban but by their nature they are suburban.

The books can be purchased in print or as an e-book at www.amazon.com
