Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
From Ken Wisman's poignant tale of a dead father's love for his living son ("Letting Go") to Michael Bishop's elegant tongue-in-cheek story of an archangel's fall from grace ("Spiritual Dysfunction and Counterangelic Longings"), the 18 tales in this collection provide a varied and illuminating look at angelic intervention. Whether they appear as divine messengers or less-than-angelic meddlers, the immortals who figure in these stories by Charles de Lint, Kristine Kathrun Rusch, John Brunner, and other talented authors manifest a full spectrum of vices and virtues. The current interest in angelic phenomena should make this a popular addition to most fantasy collections.

Review
18 tales of angels use the angel image to present a strong, diverse collection of afterlife sagas. Some paint frightening scenarios; others are humorous or reflective. All use the angel image and idea to create many intriguing images and situations. -- Midwest Book Review
