(english review at the end)

Med en gave for å nagle fast og overkjøre vanlige myter i fantastiske fortellinger, og ved å vise moralske gråsoner som oppstår, lyser noen av historiene med evig lys.
Samlingen spenner over kjærlighetsnoveller med skulte agendaer til myter som blir avkledd av Allens grådige skue. Noen av historiene forblir i mørket, andre skinner klart og minneverdig.

Jeg mottok denne boken, fra forfatteren, gjennom LibraryThing's Member Giveaway program. Dette er min ærlige mening om samlingen.

With a touch for nailing the inconsistencys applied in common myths of fables, and show moral ambiguities that arises, some of this stories stand out.
This collection ranges from love stories of hidden agenda's to myths deflated by Allens poignant prodding. Some stories fall flat, others carries feelings.

I received this book from the author through LibraryThing's Member Giveaway program. And I am happy to respond with my honest review.

A collection of short stories that are in the speculative/science fiction/fantasy/magic genre. There is probably a story or so in here that anyone would like. I happened to like most of them, but couldn't even get through one. My favorites included Silver Lining, about an herbalist Vampire and Start with Stones, you may find the most magic when you're not looking for it. ( )
