Review: The Wishing Pool and Other Stories

by Tananarive Due

Published April 18, 2023 from Recorded Books / Akashic Books

The Wishing Pool is a gorgeous collection of short stories by Tananarive Due. 

The stories are quiet horror fiction, some with a bit of science fiction, some in modern day. Due builds dread wonderfully and I loved that many included a social horror element.

The Biographer and The Wishing Pool were my favourite stories, I think. Both hit me hard in different ways.

I listened to an audiobook ARC and the narrators were excellent but with short stories sometimes I need to slow down and savour the words on the page. Will be buying a paper copy for sure.

🌟🌟🌟🌟1/2

Thank you to Netgalley and Recorded Books for my review copy of this audiobook.
