I have always loved stories about witches and Wrapped In Black is like manna from heaven for me! It is filled with thirteen gloriously…evil…spell binding stories of witches in all forms. Each story is dark and deals with different types of witches in different cultures. There are Witches and Warlocks…Brujas and Voduists…there is a secret society for men only who have no idea who they have called upon. Each story is filled with its own magic that will leave you with chills and the hair on the bac...
I am a big fan of Sekhmet Press and their WRAPPED Series. Wrapped in Black is the third anthology in the series and the focus this time is witches and the occult. I will admit, witches aren’t my favorite characters to read about. I rarely find myself drawn to a book because it’s about witches, like I am with books about vampires or time travel. But Sekhmet has yet to disappoint me with their anthologies, so I was very happy to read this one!Once again, editor Jennifer Greene has put together a v...
Gordon White’s delightful Southern Gothic “Hair Shirt Drag” serves as an amuse-bouche for this anthology and lets you know from the start that you won’t be reading your typical old witch stories.The tales of Wrapped in Black span from the Inquisition to a dark and gritty future and range from dying farmland in middle-America to seemingly typical sprawling suburbs. There I found witches trashy, wicked, and wise whom I loved, hated, and pitied. In “Unto the Earth,” Patrick C. Greene reminded me th...
Wrapped In Black, by Sekhmet PressShort Take: Sometimes you get your wish, and sometimes, your wish gets you…..Note: I was gifted an advance copy of Wrapped in Black in exchange for an honest review. So, below are my honest opinions!I’ve said it before, I’ve never been a fan of the short story. My preference for oversized novels is pretty well-known. Lately, though, I’ve started to re-think my position. Maybe it’s that I’m getting older, and my patience and attention span aren’t what they used t...
A new depth of blackThe initiation to Wrapped in Black sets the tone of chaotic energy found in the black arts, woven throughout the following thirteen tales of witches and the occult. Mrs. Greene’s well-crafted introduction predicts a collection with the potential to spin in any direction, which it does by virtue of excellent prose and unconventional plot. All of the stories come with a finely honed eye for detail and offer unique twists on an old theme. Based on story selection and arrangement...
Let me start off by saying I am a Pagan who has dealt with Witchcraft in my time from the hard core bad to the times of wonder and successful magic. I've seen so many take this subject and treat like it was gossamer sequins with very little thought and little research - just some fodder for a book. Wrapped in Black strikes me as stories well thought out and presented whether humorous, creepy as hell, heart touching, adventure in the face of danger, and one a bad case of summoning a ____ (can't s...
