Fantasy Annual IV

Read contributions by:

~ Stephen King - The Monkey 3* Toy monkey seems broken but symbols clang and someone dies. Boy senses evil and tries to get rid of the monkey but eventually it shows up again. He took it out to the deepest part of the lake but knows it will be fished out someday.

~ Thomas M. Disch - The Brave Little Toaster 2* It's a children's story. I saw the movie many times with my children and enjoyed it so I was curious about the source material. I didn't really enjoy it and if I hadn't seen the movie or enjoyed the movie, I would have quit.

~ Suzy McKee Charnas - Unicorn Tapestry 2*

~ Bob Leman - Feesters in the Lake 3*
(a nod to Lovecraft)

~ Pat Murphy - Don't Look Back 2*

I think the cover is suppose to be of the Feesters if show more so, they got it wrong. I didn't read all the stories in the book so it could represent another story. show less

One of the few places I can find another Stephen Tall story, after enjoying The Bear with a Knot in His Tail in Wolheim's '72. (oponlibrary.org)

(btw, I just this moment learned that Terry Carr is not female. What a letdown after all these decades.)
