A magical collection of stories, both new and old, spanning across all of Anne Bishop’s most beloved fantasy worlds. Here, together for the first time, the shorter works of New York Times bestselling fantasy author Anne Bishop are compiled in one dazzling volume. A master at bringing fantasy worlds to life, this collection showcases Bishop’s impressive range—from rarities of her earliest writing to the Realms of the Blood, darker fairytale retellings to the Landscapes of Ephemera, and standalone stories of space exploration and fantastical creatures to the contemporary fantasy terrain of the World of the Others. Includes both previously published and unpublished tales, as well as two brand-new stories written specifically for this collection: Friends and Corpses, a murder mystery involving a corpse with decidedly unusual qualities, and Home for the Howlidays, a heartwarming return to the Blood Prophet Meg Corbyn and the shapeshifting Simon Wolfgard from The Others.
