\"TheShort fiction doesn’t get a fair shake, especially in the Fantasy and Science Fiction genres. So, when I landed copies of both The Solaris Book of New Fantasy<\/strong>, I wanted to come up with a fun, unique way to give the not only the anthology, but also the authors who filled the pages.<\/p>\n

So, to that end, I’ve decided to tackle the anthology the way it was written. Piece by piece. Everyday or two, over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be reading and reviewing one of the short stories from the anthology. And this is all leading up to an interview with George Mann, Consultant Editor at Solaris Books and editor of the anthology. It’s sure to be a lot of fun!
\n
\nThe stories in the anthology are:<\/p>\n

Who Slays the Gyant, Wounds the Beast<\/strong> by Mark Chadbourn<\/em>
\nReins of Destiny<\/strong> by Janny Wurts<\/em>
\nTornado of Sparks<\/strong> by James Maxey<\/em>
\nGrander than the Sea<\/strong> by T.A. Pratt<\/em>
\nThe Prince of End Times<\/strong> by Hal Duncan<\/em>
\nKing Tales<\/strong> by Jeff VanderMeer<\/em>
\nIn Between Dreams<\/strong> by Christopher Barzak<\/em>
\nAnd Such Small Deer<\/strong> by Chris Roberson<\/em>
\nThe Wizard’s Coming<\/strong> by Juliet E. McKenna<\/em>
\nShell Game<\/strong> by Mike Resnick<\/em>
\nThe Song Her Heart Sang<\/strong> by Steven Savile<\/em>
\nA Man Falls<\/strong> by Jay Lake<\/em>
\nO Caritas<\/strong> by Conrad Williams<\/em>
\nLt. Privet’s Love Song<\/strong> by Scott Thomas<\/em>
\nChinandega<\/strong> by Lucius Shepard<\/em>
\nQuashie Trapp Blacklight<\/strong> by Steven Erikson<\/em><\/p>\n

As you can see, there are some pretty big names on that list! I’m especially excited for VanderMeer, Resnick and Erikson’s contributions. If this goes off well and me readers enjoy it, I’ve also got The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction<\/strong> waiting as well, which I can tackle in the same manner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
