This is the second book in this anthology theme. Inside is a collection of short stories that connect fantasy and a little humor. I think it was a great idea to shoot for a sequel anthology because the first one had a little magic in it’s writing. Some stories from the original still linger in my br...
The short story anthology Earth, Air, Fire, Water edited by Margaret Weis, the second and last collection of the Tales from the Eternal Archives, contains thirteen stories of varying quality loosely connected to one another through the titular mystical library. But unlike the first collection all t...
From the blurb: "Sitting around their dinner table, replete from a mighty banquet, Ibn Fahad and Masrur al-Adan - two of the Caliph of Bagdad's most trusted servants - are called upon to tell tales. Tales of the unknown north, where they ventured in their youth as guards to a caravan. As their...

Out of Avalon edited by Jennifer Roberson is a collection of Arthurian short stories by various authors. One story entitled The Heart of the Hill is set in Marion Zimmer Bradley's version of Avalon and takes place sometime in the middle of The Mists of Avalon during Morgaine's training to be a pries...
This is a fantastic anthology that's based on fairytales told from the point of view of the villains. It's also great for both younger and older readers; I loved it, and got a lot out of it, although I'm older than the targeted audience. Then again, Ellen Datlow is a top-notch editor and garners...
