The Poison Eaters: And Other Stories

Written by Holly Black

Narrated by Holly Black and Kate Rudd

Poisonous girls whose kisses will kill. A fateful eating contest with the devil. Faeries who return to Ironside, searching for love. A junior prom turned bacchanalia. In twelve short stories, eerie and brimming with suspense and unexpected humor, Holly Black twists the fantastical creatures you thought you knew in ways you’ll never expect.

“Black seamlessly blends reality with the supernatural, creating tales that are sometimes amusing, often hair-raising, and always satisfying.” —Voya

“Black…proves equally adept at urban fantasy and more traditional fairy tales, and her stories often feature the edgy sexuality and angst that have become her trademarks.” —Publishers Weekly

Reviews for The Poison Eaters

[Kara · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Interesting stories, monotone narration. Each story is different, so that keeps you on your toes. Some stories I felt ended sooner than I'd prefer, but that just meant they were interesting enough for me to want to hear more. The narrator reading this audiobook is very lackluster, it's making it hard to keep listening. She's very monotone and doesn't use any emotion in her voice.

Found it be rather dull and boring. Was not a fan

[Ariana · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Each story is the perfect morsel, some leave you feeling quite eerie while others are brimming with love. I had to pause between each story to think it over, and I relished the experience of listening to this collection.
