- Reading
- Treat it as a collection to sample: read one story at a time, then pause to see whether the next author’s style appeals. This can make the shifts between stories easier to notice.
- Themes
- A range of speculative storytelling: The collection brings together original stories and is described as ranging from dark humour and sword-and-sorcery to traditional ballads. The anthology is presented as a varied selection, but that does not establish how any particular idea or situation is treated within a story.
- Worth knowing
- Dark humour and high sword-and-sorcery are specifically included, but the stories’ subjects and intensity are not detailed. If tone matters to your reader, consider checking in as they move between stories.
