Product Description

Sorcery is all around us. From a child’s struggles to control magical powers for the first time, to the epic clashes of forces of good and evil on a titanic scale, here are more than twenty of the finest in contemporary and classic wizardry tales. Ranging from Michael Moorcock’s "Master of Chaos," the story of a knight traveling to a castle on the edge of the world to face the ultimate sorcerer, to Peter Crowther’s "The Eternal Altercation," in which a man is forced into the eternal battle between hope and despair on a sorcerer-controlled train, The Mammoth Book of Sorcerers’ Tales also includes stories from Ursula Le Guin, Steve Rasnic Tem, James Bibby, Robert Weinberg, A. C. Benson, Michael Kurland, and Louise Cooper.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for fans of the fantasy genre, May 12, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Knowledgeably compiled and edited by Mike Ashley, The Mammoth Book Of Sorcerers' Tales is a 512-page compendium of some of the best stories of wizardry from some of the finest writers in the fantasy genre. "Master of Chaos" by Michael Moorcock, "The Walker Behind" by Marion Zimmer Bradley, "The Bones of the Earth" by Ursula K. LeGuin and many more fill this exciting and volume brimming with magic, action, fantastic settings and mystical heroic deeds. The Mammoth Book Of Sorcerers' Tales is a treat for fans of the fantasy genre interested in experiencing nothing but the best of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for Everyone, December 25, 2004
By Sarah Coolidge "sarah__c" (Grand Prairie, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What an excellent short story collection! Though I have been a science fiction / fantasy fan for much of my life, I have only recently begun to read anthologies such as this one; however, I have read quite a lot in the past few years. Of the 15 or so that I've enjoyed, I do not hesitate to recommend this book as one of the best. Each of its 23 short stories is an amazing work of art that will have readers eager to flip to the next page. With a spectrum of tales ranging from magical events triggered by a seemingly harmless computer game to stories of fairy-tale-like love in jeopardy to wonderfully lighthearted comic fantasies, every reader with the slightest interest in the genre is sure to find something appealing. In fact, with the inclusion of comedy, computers, and modern-day themes, even those who don't normally read fantasy may be hard-pressed to put this novel down!

500 pages is simply not enough, and I can only hope to see more anthologies of this quality in the future.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Mammoth Book of Sorcerers' Tales, January 21, 2005
I am disappointed in this book. I have read 10 of the stories so far. Each story starts off great and builds into something exciting. Then each one seems to end abruptly. So my problem is with the endings. Each one is worst then the one before.

I would not recommend this book to someone who is starting to read fantasy. It will disappoint them
