I’m, as usual, playing catch up. Never got around to posting on the stories I read for week 2, so hopefully I’ll get through them all this time around. As usual with these group reads a spoiler warning is in full effect. They are discussion posts rather than reviews.
Forbidden brides ... Neil Gaiman
It is intriguing and provoking, but not satisfying.
This story in particular is in many ways a send-up of gothic literature, but a it is a fond mocking. Almost as thought the reader should know the conventions, and while appreciating them as conventions and stereotypes still love and enjoy them.
Or at least that is how I read it. And to be honest, I’d enjoy reading more about Amelia and her adventures
