I’ve so enjoyed reading the stories and poems in this anthology, that I’m planning on picking up the rest of the series!While I have a few very favorites (like Nure-Onna by Marshall J. Moore, The Diviner by Catherine MacLeod, Siren’s Song by Colleen Anderson, and The Witch’s Diary: Adventures in Hut Sitting by Rebecca Brae), I found all to be well-written, entertaining, and unique. Plus, I have a whole new list of authors to research further.Rhonda Parrish did a wonderful job gathering these wri...
As usual, editor Rhonda Parrish chose a different, somewhat quirky tale to lead us into the pages of “Water.” Catherine MacLeod’s dark tale, “The Diviner,” was an excellent choice to begin this collection of stories and poems. The author wove the story in such a way as to make it easy to believe in the character of Melly, a seemingly ordinary person possessing out-of-the-ordinary cooking skills.Everybody has different tastes, and there were some stories that reached out and immediately grabbed m...
Wonderful collection.All of the stories in this collection have to do with water. What makes them great is they are so unlike the tales usually told about the many mythical water beings. I enjoyed this collection immensely.I received this book as an ARC.
Lovely compilation of stories and poems with a water theme. There's love, strangeness and horror in the book. I enjoyed all of them.
The fourth book in the Elemental Anthology series all of the stories and poems deal with a water theme. I enjoyed reading these stories by different Authors. They where all well worth reading. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Water: Selkies, Sirens and Sea Monsters is an entertaining collection of short stories and poems. Some of the stories have humour, like The Witches Diary: Adventures in Hut Sitting, about a witch who babysits her friend's animated hut. Then there are darker stories, like Midnight Man vs Carrie Cthulhu, about a man who hunts a monster that murdered his friends.The pacing of the anthology was great, not all the long stories were together, the short stories and poems were mixed throughout the book....
Good set of stories that cover an entire range of creatures that live in the water. I loved seeing all the different stories with one element in common.
Unbelievable stories about water and it’s relevance. I personally love the ocean and can watch it all day. A Tsunami is fascinating and dangerous at the same time. Anything to do with water is beautiful. Totally intriguing and you definitely get lost in the descriptions . Each story held a description that was fascinating.
Eclectic collection of poems and stories!It is difficult to sum up this richness in few sentences or even in hundred ones. The stories in the bundle seem to be united in evoking certain sense of oddity with respect to the sea. They are however quite diverse. Many are horror stories, some however have a distinct "moby-dick" focusing on people mariners as much as on the sea. Others are Lovecraftian in tone and conclusion. Still others draw inspiration from folk legends. They all however share one

I received a free ARC copy of this book and am leaving a review voluntarily.I loved this! My first foray into this author’s writing was another sea-based book and I was delighted to see more! The mythology of the sea leaves open so many ideas and the author takes full advantage of that.Don’t come in here expecting the usual. You may find pieces of it but just like the sea, no wave is the same. Be prepared for unusual but relatable characters, glorious atmosphere and a mood that both enchants and...
