No current Talk conversations about this book. humorous fantasy short stories There are only two memorable or notable or recommended stories that are the exception to this abysmal, misogynist anthology of boring stories. It took me over a month to get through these stories because they seemed to be getting worse and I didn't want to pick the book back up. The editors claim the stories are funny or ribald and well-written, but this reader didn't laugh once, nor was intrigued or titillated by any of the stories. The introduction written to each of the stories was juvenile and in most cases inaccurate. The exception to the stories (and the reason this book must have been rated higher) are Roger Zelazny's "Unicorn Variations" and Harlan Ellison's "Djinn, No Chaser" which are certainly worth reading. I had read each of those two stories a number of times in the past and so did not read them again in this anthology. "Unicorn Variations" can be found in the collection of that name as is a much better read. "Djinn, No Chaser" can be found in Ellison's collections "Stalking the Nightmare" and "Edgeworks 2". no reviews | add a review
