Tart Noir

I bought a book the other day - "Tart Noir". It's a collection of short stories, written by women in the mystery/murder field... I don't know what to think. This book has left me spinning my analytical wheels. I don't dislike the stories. I find them fascinating, if quite creepy. And I'm challenging myself to consider if I am creeped out because the women in these stories don't act the way society says they should, or if I'm upset because I subscribe to a much more cloistered, narrow, stereotypical world view than I supposed. And if the latter is true, then I am really quite sad.

I have to think on this some more...
