Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Author and editor Allen (Mythic) has compiled a neatly packaged set of short stories that flow cleverly and seamlessly from one inspiration to another. In The City of Blind Delight by Catherynne M. Valente, a man inadvertently ends up on a train that takes him to an inescapable city of extraordinary wonders. In All the Little Gods We Are, Hugo winner John Grant takes a mind trip to possible parallel universes. Modern topics make an appearance among the whimsy and strangeness: Ekaterina Sedia delves into the misunderstandings that occur between cultures and languages in There Is a Monster Under Helen's Bed, while Tanith Lee gleefully skewers gender politics with The Woman, giving the reader a glimpse of what might happen if there was only one fertile woman left in a world of men. Lush descriptions and exotic imagery startle, engross, chill and electrify the reader, and all 19 stories have a strong and delicious taste of weird. (July)

The delectable offerings found within these pages come from some of today's most distinguished contemporary fantasists and brilliant rising newcomers.

Whether it's a touch of literary erudition, playful whimsy, extravagant style, or mind-blowing philosophical speculation and insight, the reader will be led into unfamiliar territory, there to find shock and delight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, unique fiction, Nov 25 2008
By Brent Knowles - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a diverse anthology, full of interesting stories. I enjoyed several of them immensely, my favorites would probably be Oblivion: A Journey and All the Little Gods We Are. The Occulatation was also quite interesting, just to see where that bizarre story was going. But there were many fine stories in here.

This is definitely a book I'll go back to occasionally and I'm excited that there's a second book in the works.
