Dark Blooms

Girls come of age in so many ways. In this book, they come of age by battling monsters, watching their friends die, losing their mothers, and killing for the first time. Their periods are the least of their concerns. In this collection of girls' coming-of-age stories by a diverse cast of women writers, we get to meet sixteen heroines, not all of whom survive adolescence. Not all of whom we would want to survive. This collection doesn't miss a beat in telling a variety of important coming-of-age stories that might have been buried and ignored without this opportunity. These fresh and fantastic voices will reach inside of you and make you feel something you haven't felt since you were a girl. Dark Blooms. Sixteen Coming-of-Age Horrors.
