Something for Everyone

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.
