Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Bull Running for Girls is full of wonderful, frightening, moving ideas and images. Bird has a great mind for scene and situations, and great strong women characters. I look forward to seeing more of her later work, as I feel this collection was just missing polish. Great potential for future weird and horror writing.Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Paranormal stories which sadly were a bit of a let down. Although I generally love fantasy, I was not a fan of it in this book of short stories. The way the stories flowed seemed stilted and awkward, and I sometimes lost track of what was happening. I couldn't relate to any of the characters and instead of being horrified I was simply bored. I had high hopes for this book and was disappointed with it. * I received this book for free from Goodreads First Reads. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I knew going in that these would be creepy stories, not my favorite genre. And they were indeed spooky. Lots of death and desolation. Sometimes the time and place weren't clear, but most of the action seemed to occur in an older era, in bleak settings. One story that stuck with me: a modern school group tours Pompeii; what could possibly go wrong? nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

2009 British Fantasy Award Winner for Best Collection The twenty-one stories collected in Bull Running for Girls are widely varied, both in setting and subject. From small town life in Madison County to the dangers of bull running in Pamplona, the stories seem, at first blush, unrelated. They are bound, however, by Allyson Bird's strength. She is a remarkable woman, the stories collected here as personal as they are unsettling. The atmosphere, the tone and mood invoked by the author aside - it is the humanity at the heart of each tale that is so disquieting. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Fair warning: I went in with high expectations due to a recommendation and the fact it won the British Fantasy Award, and of course didn't get very far. So maybe the rest of the stories are supeb and do more than showcase the author's weak command of English and the publisher's crappy editing.
