Christine Santiago cis121 — A good overview of the suffrage movement. The determination and strength of these women is inspiring. I think I never knew how bad things were, and it makes me appreciate what we have and the effort and sacrifice it took to get us here. I thought it would be a bit glossed over as it wasn't that long of a book, but I think they got the right balance of facts, and the human side of the story. Once again though I think it points out the forgotten foibles of our heroes and heroines. In this instance when it came time for black men to get the right to vote Susan would not support the call for the right of black men to vote. She in fact argued against black men voting because why should they get to vote when educated (and in her mind superior) women are denied that right. It seems rather petty of her to try to hold back another group if she can't get what she wants. I guess she could make the argument that everyone gets the right to vote or no one does, but that seems illogical. The votes of black men should have been seen as more potential people able to vote to support her cause (hopefully they would be willing to help out the oppressed women since they would have an intimate understanding of oppression). Also her looking down on black men with no education shows a lack of enlightenment. I guess sometimes that only comes when you can look back on things and have a wider perspective. Finally I think Fredrick Douglass's statement on why she should have supported it was very compelling (nobody was lynching white women at the time). I guess this just proves once again that nobody is perfect.

Charley Charles charleycharles — Given the generally high marks this book has received (mostly from the contributors and their acquaintances I see), I figured it safe betting that this collection would be an enjoyable read. Toe Tags doesn't feel like it even made it past a quick cursory glance from its proofreader. With stories switching from past to present tense with no reason other than the author's sloppy oversight, to (somewhat baffling) spates of a clear inability to distinguish between "than" and "then", this book is riddled with Grammar and Punctuation 101-level mistakes. I had the strong impression that very few if any of the authors were asked to make revisions beyond their first drafts. Needless to say, it made for a lot of distractions while reading. The stories themselves, while for the most part unique at their core, are neither frightening nor very enjoyable. That's not to say there aren't a couple of good stories in the collection. However, there seems to be both a lack of story development and general writing style from the large majority of these tales, and the overall work suffers for it. I often found myself bored as I read through this book, which to my mind read like a high school writing project slung together by a band of friends rather than an anthology of new and talented horror authors. On more than one occasion I wondered how a good chunk of these poorly written and cliche-abused stories were approved for publication at all. I had higher expectations, and Toe Tags is definitely not one of the best horror anthologies out there.
