Apollo reviewed The Beasts Beneath the Winds by Hanna Alkaf
A Wonderous Short Story Collection
4 stars
This collection of short stories about creatures of the myth, folklore, and cryptozoology of Southeast Asia is full of the kinds of monster stories that would have completely lit up my brain when I was a kid. There's so much to love, but the modernization of these stories is the big strength here; these stories feel contemporary and fresh despite being rooted in old tales.
