A review by runehallow
Prom Nights from Hell by Meg Cabot, Lauren Myracle, Michele Jaffe, Kim Harrison, Stephenie Meyer

2.0

Pretty lackluster collection overall. Harrison's contribution was interesting because it's clearly the precursor for the novel that followed two years later & I liked Myracle's retelling of the 'careful what you wish for' story. It was basic but the writing was at least lively. Cabot's entry was entertaining but forgettable--I can't even remember enough about it to comment, and I just finished the book a few minutes ago. Meyer's contribution was, predictably, offensively stupid and irritating with its simplistic dichotomies and shallow characterizations. I would've liked the entry about the superhero girl a bit more if the dialogue didn't try so hard to sound cool and original--it was getting more than a little Diablo Cody up in there, and not in a charming way.
