4.0 out of 5 stars

The shorter, more whimsical pieces it seemed I didn't like as much here. However, this anthology still averages 3.53. Now given by my numbers I rate fantasy stories 0.20 to 0.25 lower or thereabouts in general, that would seem to be the equivalent of the various Year's Best SF series, for me, at least, somewhere around the 3.50 mark.

Now given by my numbers I rate fantasy stories 0.20 to 0.25 lower or thereabouts in general, that would seem to be the equivalent of the various Year's Best SF series, for me, at least, somewhere around the 3.50 mark.The standout is clearly Benjamin Rosenbaum's story, and the last in the book, with van Eekhout, Beagle, Ford, Lanagan and Parks the author higher quality work. The introduction here is perhaps a little more in-depth than some of the others, maybe for space reasons, and some space is given to 'collected story intros' if you like, at the start.
