Meg Cabot, Kim Harrison, Michele Jaffe, Stephenie Meyer, and Lauren Myracle take bad prom nights to a whole new level in this collection of short stories. There’s vampires (and slayers), demons, the grim reaper, a boyfriend coming back from the dead, and a girl with superpowers. If you think your prom was bad with people breaking up, the rain and bad hair - it’s nothing compared to these!
This is a fun read. Of the stories within, I probably enjoyed Meg Cabot’s “The Exterminator’s Daughter” the most, followed by Lauren Myracle’s “The Corsage”. In “The Exterminator’s Daughter”, we find Mary whose best friend is under the spell of a vampire. She feels that it’s up to her to kill the vamp and save her friend. In “The Corsage”, all Frankie wanted to do was go to prom with Will. Unfortunately, there was an accident and Will died before prom. What will Frankie do when he comes to escort her?
Don’t expect the stories to have concrete endings. These stories end rather abruptly, leaving the reader wanting more. Your imagination will run wild. Mine did.
