Think you’re husband may kill you in a dystopian reality? Take out a retribution clause to ensure that he follows you into death… these ideas are such exaggerated versions of our reality that they truly make you think about the world that we all live in today. Drugging someone to rob just seems wrong, but make it a horny vampire and it is much more realistic. Each tale consisted of a multi-dimensional setting in which fighting to survive allowed for acts that would not necessarily be accepted in today’s society and reality. The name hints beautifully at this though, Hex Appeal, both appealing and potentially damaging – like all of the leads in these nine very diverse stories.įinishing this collection left me wanting more, more of these not-quite-good characters that thrived in worlds that ran beautifully parallel to our own. In each tale there was no good or bad guy, but rather someone who was working at surviving with the cards that they have been dealt. This was a slightly dark and definitely morally questioning collection of short stories.
