Welcome to Litsy!

Mehhh. This one was too predictable and longer than it needed to be

The sound of bones being crushed rang out from the ring, and the woman shouted for another contestant to take on the “godly Dimitri Voronin.”

This was a quick read! Its a retelling of Poe‘s The Fall of The House of Usher. Its a really good retelling. I read the authors note and she said after reading Poe‘s version she was left with a lot of questions and wanted more details. So, she wrote her own version. Very much following the original with character names, etc. but also so much more!

Well that was mildly traumatizing. I like how I totally knew who the antagonist was by like chapter 2 but was actually coerced into believing I was wrong until the very end. What the actual hell.

Phantom by Susan Kay

This is one of my favorite Phantom of the Opera retellings.

“Do you think they ever get the two confused? The devil shows up to a fairy ball, or finds himself mobbed with elven ingénues?” He gave me a look from under his eyebrows. “You shouldn‘t joke about fairies. Sir.” “Oh, very well. As long as I can still joke about the devil.” (37)

Fantastic!
