Here be dragons and sorcery, time travel and sorrow. Vicious garden gnomes. A grounded phoenix rider. A new mother consumed with vengeance. A dying god. Soul magic. These stories wrestle with the experience of loss-of loved ones, of relationships, of a sense of self, of health-and forge a path to hope as characters fight their way forward. From bestsellers and SPFBO finalists to rising voices, 13 exceptionally talented authors explore the many facets of grief and healing through the lens of fantasy and sci-fi. Stories by: M.L. Wang, K.S. Villoso, Intisar Khanani, Sonya M. Black, Angela Boord, Levi Jacobs, Krystle Matar, Virginia McClain, Quenby Olson, Carol A. Park, Madolyn Rogers, Rachel Emma Shaw & Clayton Snyder… (plus d'informations)
This is a great collection of short stories. There weren't any that I didn't enjoy. On the contrary, I found many of them exceptional.
All the stories deal with some kind of negative emotions. We meet the characters at their lowest in life. They feel lost, alone and desperate. This book is not negative, though. Where there is sadness, there is also a hope.
I like the idea of using fantasy medium for this kind of stories. It really shows that fantasy genre can be more than just a magic adventure. It can offer not only escape but also reflection. The situations the characters face might be foreign and unreal, but their emotions are very familiar.
I feel like talking about each short story might give away too much. I personally enjoyed going in blind and discovering what each story is going to be about.

From heart-wrenching to quietly poignant every story delivers. ( )
