RaveThe Southern Review of Books... Whitney Collins constructs Big Bad, a deliciously dark world in which anything is possible and the most horrifying is probable ... Big Bad [...] lives in a realm between reality and surreality. Characters are forced to face their own inner darkness and acknowledge the sides of themselves that they’d rather not see ... I would go so far as to say that these stories have an agenda ... These pieces are unapologetic when it comes to the issues that are generally swept under the rug. This bold approach is truly refreshing. This collection is easy to read while also being hard to swallow. The juxtaposition between what is right and what is easy is the common thread that links the reading experience with the content. Overall, I would say this isn’t a read for the faint of heart ... Whitney certainly toes the line. She makes you wonder what your definition of ‘too far’ is and forces you to think about just how far you would be willing to go in your darkest hour. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is entirely up to you.
