Do you like to Dance with Danger?
Well now's your chance!

Don't worry about things that go bump in the night; count yourself lucky if these fae give you that much warning. In the finest tradition of the original Bad-Ass Faeries, the twenty tales in this collection delve into the darkest corners, exploring every tough and terrifying aspect the legends of faeries ever claimed...and then some.

Lose yourself in twisted tales of homicidal faerie clowns, one man's gladiatorial stand against Earth's overlords, and a desperate mother's confrontation with the fiercest pirates above the Seven Seas...not to mention dry land.

Read on in fascinated horror as a faerwolf is born, and unwise parties-of-the-second-part come to rue deals made with a different kind of devil. Here is where you discover just how many faerie tales never even get a glimpse of Happily Ever After...

Forget about misunderstood; these faeries are Just Plain Bad!

Series Reviews


...on Bad-Ass Faeries

"Bad-Ass Faeries is a gripping anthology full of magic and mayhem, and who better to give it to you than these rotten, sometimes beautiful, sometimes horrifying Faeries? These authors know just what they’re doing and they fully used their magic on me!" 5 Angels/Recommended Read!, CJ, Fallen Angel Reviews

"If you like faeries of all types, then this is the anthology for you! ...This was a fabulous anthology...
I believe that there is a story here for everyone’s taste and highly recommend it."
5 Tombstones, Becky,
Bittenbybooks.com

"At last a book that gives the real Fairy their moment in the spotlight."
5 Lyres, Recommended Read!, Penny Ash, Rites of Romance Reviews

"Here are nineteen Faerie tales which in no way resemble the cute little faeries of our childhood...
all of them have a serious twist that I could not help but be fascinated by.
A terrific anthology that I am proud to recommend!
4 1/2 stars, Detra Fitch, The Huntress Reviews

"Bad-Ass Faeries offers a fresh look at a pervasive denizen of our mythological subconscious.
Much as in Peter Pan, the collection will leave the readers applauding, cheering,
“I believe in bad-ass faeries.”" —
4 stars, Alyce Wilson, Wild Violet | Mortal Coil Reviews
