The daughter of a beloved children's author becomes entangled in a classic tale; a dedicated club of gourmands pursues the strangest and most exotic meal ever; the Ferryman on the river Styx takes a boatman's holiday; some kids at camp tell scary stories of a monster just beyond the reach of the campfire's light; and, after nearly forty years, Peter S. Beagle continues the beloved adventures of a magician and a girl who once met a unicorn. These are just some of the sixteen outstanding stories that acclaimed anthologist Jonathan Strahan has assembled in his second annual survey of the best new fantasy stories of the year. Jonathan Strahan has edited eleven anthologies, including The Locus Awards and assorted year's best annuals, and is currently working on several new anthology projects.
