Hey bookworms!!! I'm posting this a day late, I know, but I was on tour for THE SHADOW QUEEN by C.J. Redwine yesterday and wanted to top post both of these!!!
TWO AND TWENTY DARK TALES, in particular, is a special book to me. It is one of the first books Month9Books published, and it was the first book I was interested in from the publisher that I purchased the moment I could.
You guys know how I like retellings, right? Well, this is an anthology of dark, twisty retellings of Mother Goose Rhymes. Amazing, right!?

McNeil, and Suzanne Young.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
"As a whole this is an inspired and enjoyable nibbler for those days leading up to Halloween. If you love dark retellings, especially when they involve murderous fiends there's more than one here that will leave a wicked gleam in your eye."~ Rhi Reading
"Twenty-two
authors. Twenty-two stories. Twenty-two rhymes. This is an anthology of
twenty-two Mother Goose Rhymes that will have you shuddering in your reading
nook, crying in public and looking over your shoulder during the day. These are
not the silly rhymes that you used to sing as a child or watch on Barney. These
are creepy tales with no happy endings (or bittersweet at the most). From
fantasy to paranormal, twenty-two authors dive into the dark side of Mother
Goose rhymes."~ Dark Faerie Tales
"
The stories in this anthology are
dark & sometimes twisted retellings of nursery rhymes we all remember from
childhood. The stories are wonderful, not one leaves you bored. This is a book
I will definitely purchase a physical copy of. It is perfect for the YA readers
right now who crave worlds with a supernatural twist. The variety of this
collection is great; each author takes a completely different approach in their
re-telling.."~ Little Miss Trainwreck

As told by some of today's most admired young adult
authors—and a few newbies—this charity anthology boasts stories that will
make readers scream, laugh, and tremble with fear, and all for a good
cause! Proceeds from the sale of the first 5,000 copies will be donated to the
SPCA International. Based on stories long-told by the campfire,
superstitions passed down through the generations, creatures who exist in
legend, literature, and film, and those myths that raise the hairs on the back
of our necks, these tales are sure keep readers up late at night with lamps lit
and covers over their heads.

collection of spook-licious tales that will taunt, and in a few cases, tickle the
