Hags, Sirens, and Other Bad Girls of Fantasy, edited by Denise Little

Twenty short stories focusing on the female characters from the world of fantasy. Pandora, Medusa, the sirens, you get the idea. While interesting, only one story really stood out. Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth by Christina F. York tells the tale of Cinderella, but from the point of view of the stepmother. It is a very different story where Cinderella is a calculating ingenue, but as the stepmom says, "history is written by the victors." The other stories were a mixed bag, but nothing special.

First Sentence (from the introduction):

Bad girls have more fun.
