A really interesting collection of short stories. They all had an interesting spin on someone being ‘half-human.’ "Linnea" was perhaps my favorite of them all overall. (

for Zehava

First words

For almost as long as humans have been telling stories, we have been spinning yarns about people who were like us, but not quite - people who were half human.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0590955888, Paperback)

A girl is born with the fire of dragon blood in her veins and another longs for the feel of water against her skin. A scarecrow wonders at the world around him and a fallen angel tries to reclaim her family's soul.These are the stories about the people who are not wholly human and the animals that are not purely animal--beings that stand between the two worlds feeling the emotions, thrills, and confusions of both. Their struggle will be to find their true forms, and then meaning and purpose in their lives after the choice.
