I would give this book 3.5 stars. As with most anthologies, there were some stories I didn't care for and some I loved. My favorite one in this collection, is: The Halloween Man. It was about a spooky character who carries a sack around to steal little kid's souls on Halloween, the only day of the y...
It’s hard to relate how much I enjoyed The Game is Afoot: Parodies, Pastiches and Ponderings of Sherlock Holmes, edited by Marvin Kaye. This 1994 anthology is packed with Holmes pastiches and analyses that I have to imagine was well received when it was released in the early days of the world wide w...
A collection of six long stories - which makes it a bit hard to give an overall rating. Definitely above-average, though, with a few of my favorite authors in the mix!Tanith Lee - UOUSFull of elements of disparate fairy tales, but mainly a mix of Cinderella and Tam Lin(?) - maybe. The girl with the ...
I've liked those of the previous themed anthologies edited by Kaye that I've read - this one's a mixed bag, from the sublime (Patricia McKillip's "The Kelpie", set amid a group of Victorian artists and containing the least amount of magical trappings of the set) to the ridiculous (Craig Shaw Gardene...
The Ghost Quartet is latter part of a series of novella or longer short fiction anthologies that include The Vampire Sextet and The Dragon Quintet edited by Marvin Kaye and published by the Science Fiction Book Club and Tor Books. The anthology was not very well received, and copies quickly made the...
The Masters of Solitude by Marvin Kaye and Parke Godwin is a classic science fiction with a bit of fantasy that isn’t very well known; it explores a post-apocalyptic world of magic users and a city of technology that has turned its back on them There are books everyone knows about, and there are boo...

"UOUS" by Tanith LeeRichly atmospheric but ultimately unsatisfactory story of Cinderella-like Lois, whose labors for her abusive stepmother are interrupted by demands from supernatural creatures in the forest. The fact that the family was in a dilapidated house in the forest in the first place was k...
This is a nice collection of tales that focus on fairies, and that would be your older and nastier fairies than Tinkerbell. "UOUS" by Tanith Lee is, to my mind at least, the best in the collection. Lee sets up the tale nicely, making it almost sound like we are going to get a classic Cinderella t...
