The New Voices of Fantasy by Peter S. Beagle, Jacob Weisman

2.5

 This is a collection of short stories by various fantasy authors. As it happens with all collections, I liked some stories way more than others, but I do think this is a good way to find authors that will be for me if I like the writing style, themes and characters. However, the best works of the authors aren’t usually in these collections. This book has 19 stories each by a different author and I liked 8 of them.
