At last! a new book by Lillian Stewart Carl. It has been too long since she has been published and this book did not disappoint.

I don't often buy anthologies becasue I normally find that I like only one or two pieces in a collection; but I read this whole book in one sitting and enjoyed all the stories.

Although they range from history & mythology to reincarnation to science fiction the stories are tied together by a feeling of alternate reality - these could be someone else's dreams or nightmares.

If you enjoy speculative fiction of any type you will certainly enjoy the escape from reality that this book provides.

Lillian Stewart Carl's impressed me with her well-thought-out, historically accurate fantasy ever since I first read her Amazon women-inspired _Sabazel_. Now, at last, we get her most important short fiction collected in a single volume. The genesis of _Sabazel_ is included here, along with several stories that display her affection for All Things Scottish. Witty and thoughtful, there are several major awards finalists included amongst these sophisticated tales. A good read -- I highly recommend it!
