An anthology of short stories and poems featuring a wide variety of types of witches. I enjoyed the project of this book even though quite a few of the stories didn’t really work for me. The high points in here were very high, though. My favorites were The Liar by Darcie Little Badger, As Wayward Sisters, Hand in Hand by Indrapramit Das, The Unexpected Excursion of the Mystery Writing Witches by Garth Nix, and Night Riding by Usman T. Malik.
