A few years back anthologies became popular in publishing and it's nice to see that they still continue--where else can you find short stories. I love them because it's a great way to find new authors. And there are times when I want a short read in the evening instead of a story that will keep me up all night.
Cast of Characters delivers almost too much...but in a good way.
There are stories from some of my favorite authors: Jo Beverley (Saint Agnes and the Black Sheep), Carole Nelson Douglas (Don't Breathe), Rosemary Edghill (The Woman who Lied to Cats). And there are some new (to me) authors.
"A Dream of Flight" by Victoria Strauss is a haunting beautiful story, and now I want to go buy her other books -- this one's a keeper.
"I Brake for Biker Witches" by Angie Fox is pure fun. (How can you not love a story that starts: "It was a dark and lonely night. No, seriously - it was. You wouldn't believe the pitch black you get in the middle of the desert in California.")
This is a great anthology for browsing through to find something to suit your mood of the moment--and to discover authors you haven't read.

I saw the list of authors from this book and was blown away at the talent. Had to have it. I've shamelessly been reading all day instead of finishing my taxes. And the stories are one after the other brilliant. I don't usually read in several of the genres this book covers, but now I'm realizing what I'm missing, and who I'm missing. Seriously incredible. Gotta go, more stories to read.

Quick reads with some really good stories. Love the imagery captured by Rosemary Edghill, BTW.
I am so glad I finally bought a Kindle!
