Modern magic Book

One would be surprised to discover that the author of these "blood and thunder" tales is the same woman who wrote the lovely, domestic, and tranquil story of Little Women. That being said, these stories filled with hypnotism, sexual politics, drug experimentation, and violent Eastern conspiracies are all written in a distinctly feminine and delicate hand. There is something about the way Alcott writes that drips with prettiness; there is something soft and lovely in her narrative voice that remains clear and pure throughout the dark subject matter into which she so boldly dives. It is an appropriate phenomenon that eerily manifests the themes of feminine power and control celebrated throughout her stories. I'd recommend this collection to anyone with a soft spot for feminist literature and/or thrillers.
