As a long time reader of Horner's excellent collections of fantasy and dark fantasy, I'm excited about this new release! I am an author in it, so that makes it even better. I was able to check out the early drafts of this book last summer. The talent is amazing and the art is wonderful. Support William Horner's crusade to develop new talent in fantasy fiction! Buy and enjoy this book!

I have read thousands of books and I have to admit that anthologies are some of my favorite books. This book had so many different stories , each one was just the right size to be savored like a sip of wine and a chocolate covered strawberry. Just delicious. And I am not an author.

As one of the authors in this collection, I abstain from commenting on what I think of the works in this collection because I don't want to be immediately seen as a worthlessly biased opinion.

I *will* say, however, that William Horner has obviously worked very hard to put together what looks like a great collection of even, solid work in horror/dark fantasy. The illustrations for the stories look good, the overall publication of the pieces are excellent, and I think it's a worthy read right alongside any significant year's collection of this genre's best.

If you love "horror" short stories that make little sense and dump you right into a story, this is your book. Personally i though it was alright, though only a few of the stories were top notch. If you like to collect magic or horror books etc. then but this/.
