Summary
After the loss of her mother, a woman returns to the San Fernando Valley only to uncover a haunting secret about her childhood friend.
A visiting professor at a charming but strange California liberal arts college must face her past in order to protect her son.
A sister, lost in the woods, confronts the dangerous truth about her brother, her stepmother, and herself.
Rose's dog Wolfie has died, and three seductive women offer to help return him to her. But only if she will pay the price.
Mira, distraught and ill after the death of her husband, Richard, wanders out into a weird new world to battle the monsters of her grief.
And Mim must disguise herself in order to infiltrate an LA sex trafficking ring and rescue her daughter.
Francesca Lia Block, known for her own brand of Southern California magical realism, brings the darkest of traditional fairy tales to life in a contemporary way that speaks to universal themes and the very specific challenges of our times, as her heroines fight ogres, witches, and demons in order to save their loved ones and, ultimately, themselves.

Abrupt endings
Every story ended abruptly, so little information. They are more like snippets than full stories.
The narration all sounded similiar

Unfinished Tales would be a better name
Magical realism, urban fantasy and dark fantasy are some of my bread and butter when it comes to reading. They are my favourites along side portal horror, fairy tale retellings and mixed media styles. I went in to this with high hopes after reading the description, but it fell flat. The stories aren't bad, and the audio narrator did a lot to make it more entertaining, but all of the stories just ended. It was an abrupt ending, not a cliff hanger or one that left open to interpterion, it felt like the stories were incomplete and just stopped.
I know a story needs to end, but they felt incomplete. I don't know what the authors intentions were with that style of ending but it just didn't do it for me.

A couple of short stories...
.. with differing degrees of writing quality.
The narration is exceptionally well though and made this enjoyable even although the story content was a bit hit or miss for me.
