Description
Fifteen tasty tales from a master of fantasy! The dead. The undead. Those who wish they were dead. They're all here, along with a legend from a Pacific island, a legend from beneath a Pacific island, and much, much more. Frogs and dogs, knaves and slaves, and maybe a smidgen of real but impertinent food. Extend your imagination and have a nibble. You'll come back for more. Includes the never before published story "Fetched.".Tags

This volume of short stories is basically b-sides that were cut from other books that Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have published. The book is filled out by several excerpts (short-story like segments) from prior books. The repeats were too familiar, the new stories were nothing all that revealing. But it did serve to put me back into the Dune universe just in time for the next book, due out in January.

I read the show more first one. Wasn't bad but was just as Meh worthy as I was expecting. Now that I have all of Anderson/Herbert's stuff off my kindle, my Don't Read Anymore by Them Policy can take full effect. First DNF of the year... " show less
