Groundbreaking Collection of Fantasy Stories

This collection of 19 of the best tales from 2007, collected by acclaimed reviewer Rich Horton, is a pleasing set of non-traditional fantasy stories. Avoiding the tropes, Horton has collected stories of wonder and myth that elucidate and delight. No two are the same and each is both full of adventure and deeply philosophical. Of particular interest are Daniel Abraham's "The Cambist and Lord Iron," Ian R. Macleod's "The Master Miller's Tale," "The Teashop" by Zoran Zivkovic, and "Save Me Plz" by David Barr Kirtley. Fantasy readers looking for genre breaking stories that contain old themes in new guises will find this collection a real treasure. Reviewed By John Ottinger III
