The Book of the Unknown: Tales of the Thirty-Six by Jonathon Keats
3.0
Reading this with Shelley. It had an interesting introduction but it makes me wonder how much of the stories were actually created by the author because it sounds like they are "re-tellings". I'm also wondering how closely the stories are all linked.
So this was a collection of unconnected stories. It had golems, angels, demons, and miracle healers but it really wasn't a swords and sorcery fantasy collection. It tended more toward "magical realism". Some of the stories ended rather abruptly but most had a nice message about everyday people that could be considered saints. Sometimes the message was a bit subtle but I think I got most of them.
