    “I appreciate this book for how easy it was to ready, however every story follows the same formula and after a while it got kinda boring. Not to mention the weird sort of beastiality moment that happened also brought this book down for me.”

    “A great collection of stories. You want weird tales but female lead you have it here. Strong women in strange situations that make you think about the uncanny.”

    “original review: https://horrortree.com/epeolatry-book-review-les-femmes-grotesques-by-victoria-dalpe/ It’s been more than a decade since I’d discovered the wonderful world of Weird fiction, and for a while I hadn’t come across a voice that whispered dark truths like those of my original forays into this New Weird. Victoria Dalpe’s Les Femmes Grotesques is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It’s proof of the many great authors out there that I strive to find. It’s a wonderful feeling. In Les Femmes Grotesques Dalpe gives us a survey of the current landscape of weird horror fiction. Daple serves up a healthy serving of feisty femmes in a smattering of situations. There are haunted houses, liminal spaces, urban cults, forbidden lovers, and so much more. These stories deal with loss, jealousy, isolation, and general existential dread with deft aplomb. The characters within are all relatable in a way, even those who lean toward darker morality. Such phantastic material. After each story, readers are left wanting more, not due to the story feeling incomplete, but because the story is engrossing and immersive. I’m beyond thrilled to see the works of Dalpe and others still driving the Weird fiction genre. She is now among the names I will look for in the wild alongside Laird Barron, John Langan, Nathan Ballingrud, and Livia Llewellyn. While flipping through the original publication sources, I discovered a wonderful resource of interesting venues and names to watch for.”
