Rum and Runestones by

3.0

This anthology of pirates and magic was very fun to read. Stories range from modern life that melds with pirate ghosts to pirate erotica to treasure hunts with all the expected betrayals and voodoo witches expected. If you are looking for a fun romp, you'll enjoy it. The best of the book for me was The God-Empress of the Sea by James R. Stratton, a great beginning tale of an adolescent claiming her life as a samurai, and In the Runes by Danielle Ackley-McPhail, a story of the last dragon hunting down the runes that contain the life forces of young dragons, waiting to be born.
