S.S. White at Calico Reaction rates The Girl With No Hands and other tales a Must Have.
And for the most part, I was entranced. Oh sure, some tales had me scratching my head a bit, but overall, I inhaled this collection, and as I finished, I finished with the knowledge that it's a collection I'll return to in time, and if you know me, you know that my desire to re-read anything at all is a rare, rare thing.

Scary Minds Reviews The Girl With No Hands and other tales.
And gives it 10 stars.
I had an absolutely marvellous time with The Girl With No Hands and enjoyed each of the sixteen stories the collection contained. While I've mentioned the similarities between Ms Slatter's stories and the traditional faery tale this should in no way imply that the Author is writing children's fiction, each of the stories is an absorbing yarn that talks in an adult voice. Angela Slatter presents a series of remarkably good female role models for teens that should have parents of those teens rushing their local bookshops to get a copy of the collection in preference to glittering vampires and the big V on her forehead Bella. Okay full recommendation, I've got nothing else to say, go buy the book.

Dirty Sexy Books Gives The Girl With No Hands 5 Stars!
"After I had my first dark, delicious taste of Angela Slatter’s idea of a fairy tale in her first story, “Bluebeard,” I was addicted to The Girl With No Hands. I wanted to slow down and savor these potent little creations, but I could not stop reading, and now all I want to do is go back and reread them again. I love fairy tales, and I still have all of the old books that I used to read as a kid, but I think those cherished memories are going to take a backseat to this collection."

Our thoughts are with those doing their best to cope with the devastating flooding, cyclones and fires wreaking havoc across Australia. We hope that everyone makes it through these challenging times with their strength and spirit intact.

In 2008 Ticonderoga Publications published Magic Dirt: the best of Sean Williams, winner of the inaugural Aurealis Award for Best Collection.
In 2008, TiconderogaOnline became known as ticon4.
In 2010 TP announced the forthcoming publication of The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror series, to be edited by Liz Grzyb and Talie Helene.
