I just read the Seanan McGuire. I poked at a couple of the others and wasn't that interested.

[a: Ellen Kushner|11889|Ellen Kushner|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1243007888p2/11889.jpg] writes so well that though the story didn't really interest me I still devoured it in one sitting and enjoyed it.
The story is about a young competitive american swords women in the 60's France learning fencing at a summer school. She runs into a mysterious man fencing one night. To say any more about the plot and I would have to find the spoiler tag.
The girl seemed rather isolated and sheltered and I am not quite sure why it was set in the 60's?
I read this book after reading [b: Swordspoint (Riverside, #1)|68485|Swordspoint (Riverside, #1)|Ellen Kushner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388903158s/68485.jpg|1453593] & [b: The Privilege of the Sword (Riverside, #2) |821583|The Privilege of the Sword (Riverside, #2)|Ellen Kushner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1389595637s/821583.jpg|4003] by [a: Ellen Kushner|11889|Ellen Kushner|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1243007888p2/11889.jpg] which I really enjoyed - I realised that one of her short stories was in one of the collections I owned, so my expectations were rather high.

Games Creatures Play is an anthology full of pretty forgettable short stories. However, two stood out to me and are worth reading if you can borrow this book. Seanan McGuire's "Jammed" is an Antimony Price story, which made me pretty happy. Then there was "Hide and Seek" by Adam-Troy Castro, about the Elder Gods playing a game of hide and seek.

I didn't find these stories as engaging as other short story collections. the good ones were really good, but they were fewer.

I adored most of the stories in this anthology, and very much enjoyed all of them. The narration was outstanding. I'll return this to the library soon, so you can have a turn listening to it :)

Anthologies are so hit or miss for me. While there were stories in here I very much enjoyed, I just couldn't make myself finish three of them (The Devil Went Down to Boston, On the Playing Fields of Blood, and The Case of the Haunted Safeway), and several others were not great, but I pushed through.
That said! I quite enjoyed In the Blue Hereafter; Prise de Fer; Jammed and Bell, Book, and Candle Pin.
Overall, not the worst anthology ever, but certainly not the best.
