"Sometimes melancholic, sometimes humorous, poetic or slightly surreal, they have been brilliantly chosen for the quality of language, story-line and thematic relevance to our passions and fixations in an ever-maddening world." - British Fantasy Society
"An exciting collection of short stories, for many different tastes. I enjoyed them all. They vary from what looks like a traditional sword and sorcery tale (but is a lot else besides), to modern myths exploring identity and the impact of childhood neglect on the adult. The characters of these stories are sometimes ghostly, often magical, isolated, side-lined, or of dubious sanity. But the stories have great twists that challenge our preconceptions of reality, mental health, power and powerlessness." - SF Book Review
