THE HARVEST CHILD AND OTHER FANTASIES collects the wide range of Steve Rasnic Tem's fantasy tales for the first time. These 39 stories include sword & sorcery sagas, chronicles of fairies, elves, witches, wizards, magical creatures, Robin Hood, funny fantasy, and a smattering of science fantasy, as well as some uncollected dark fantasy tales which emphasize the fantasy over the horror. These fictions originally appeared in both major markets and hard-to-find small magazines including, but not limited to: After Hours, Paradox, Asimov's, Dragon Magazine, Elsewhere, Infinite Loop, New Frontiers, Jabberwocky, Chrysalis, Grue, Mythellany, Fantasy Book, Extro, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies.Stories included in this collection: The Harvest ChildThe Artist and His MotherAncient GrassThe BrollachanThe Carl ParadoxEddie the GreatRobin in the MistsCornwomanDune ShackThe DyingEmbrace of Clay, Embrace of StrawGarbageHideoutDaytimerThe OrchardThe Doors of HypertextIn All Things ModerationJanaelFilmmakerLost CherokeeMarkersTall SkiesThe Sound of Hawkwings DissolvingRiverbanksTeddy Bear WinterTime and the ExileUmbrellasMorning TalkRe: VisionWanderlustWar on the DownsideWelcome to RodeomartThe World through the TreeTen Things I Know About the WizardPunishmentWriting in the DarkThe Night Market (with Melanie Tem)The Final ApprenticeDying on the Elephant Road
