Short Story Saturday was created by Lauren at 365 Days of Reading. I can’t guarantee that I’ll post a review every Saturday but I will post one as often as I can!
I am currently reading Two And Twenty Dark Tales: Dark Retellings of Mother Goose Rhymes.
Short Story: Sing A Song Of Sixpence
Author: Sarwat Chadda
Anthology: Two And Twenty Dark Tales
Summary: Sing A Song Of Sixpence is a modern day retelling of the Mother Goose nursery rhyme with the same name.
My thoughts: I was a big fan of Sarwat Chadda’s writing from his debut novel but I’m even more enthralled now. Sing A Song Of Sixpence is a dark and twisted tale. The story itself was fascinating but add in Sarwat Chadda’s lush, descriptive writing and it takes it to a whole new level. I found myself wishing the story was longer and I will definitely be seeking out more of Sarwat Chadda’s books.
I highly recommend this short story! You will be just as amazed as I was!
That author is new to me. ͒ve been wanting to give this anthology a go, glad to hear there are some good stories in it! 😀
This does look incredible. I’m finding that re-tellings recently, across the board, have been amazing.
I really liked this story! 🙂
Didn’t know anything about this author, but if you were so enthralled by his short story he must rock 🙂
