Do you like to Dance with Danger? Well now's your chance! Don't worry about things that go bump in the night; count yourself lucky if these fae give you that much warning. In the finest tradition of the original Bad-Ass Faeries, the twenty tales in this collection delve into the darkest corners, exploring every tough and terrifying aspect the legends of faeries ever claimed...and then some. Lose yourself in twisted tales of homicidal faerie clowns, one man's gladiatorial stand against Earth's overlords, and a desperate mother's confrontation with the fiercest pirates above the Seven Seas...not to mention dry land. Read on in fascinated horror as a faerwolf is born, and unwise parties-of-the-second-part come to rue deals made with a different kind of devil. Here is where you discover just how many faerie tales never even get a glimpse of Happily Ever After... Forget about misunderstood; these faeries are Just Plain Bad!

This review is from: Bad-Ass Faeries 2: Just Plain Bad (Paperback)

If homicidal faeries aren't enough, they can have a twisted sense of humor, too. Many of these stories will be your favorite. It's hard to reccmmend a favorite to start off with, but I recommend a cover-to-cover approach, because the stories just keep getting better and better. If I were to list 3 here, the most memorable from my picky perspective would be Passarella's "Twillight Crossing" Cameron's "Whisky Sour" and Ackley-McPhail's "Within the Guardian Bell" ...the continuing dramatic story from the first BAF best-selling book. It had sure been a pleasurable chilling night reading obsessively. It'll haunt you like that, too.
Passarell's Twilighy Crossing" is a reflection of his usual brilliant writing. This tale starts you out falling in love with the characters and story-telling style all at once. It's hilarious at times and twisted when you least expect it. His characterization skill is consistent, his clever and vivid descriptions bring you into the scene, as well as the Just Plain Bad nightmare... if you're not watching. One read and you're hooked. These authors rein supreme.
