title: Passion and Poison: Tales of Shape-Shifters, Ghosts, and Spirited Women
author:  Janice M. Del Negro 
description: Including both original tales and retellings, this collection of seven stories (there's one two-parter) features diverse female protagonists determinedly facing challenges and perilsfrom human bullies to ghosts. More eerie than scary, the tales of bravery, revenge, grief, and redemption share a gothic sensibility that emphasizes that things are not what they seem. In "Rosie Hopewell," for example, a folksy narrative is used to convey the frightening story of a girl who confronts her drunken dad for killing her kitten, after which he mysteriously disappears. In the more traditional, somewhat gory "The Severed Hand," a woman discovers her fianc's horrifying secret life and acts to save her own. The descriptive narratives relate the extraordinary events with almost casual straightforwardness, occasionally enhanced by repetition and punctuation. The black-and-white illustrations, though somewhat stock, evoke bygone times. Good for reading aloud to older children, the stories will add shivers to storytimes in the library, at home, or by the campfire. Rosenfeld, Shelle
