398.2 is Dewey for fairies and other paranatural beings. There is a new graphic comic, Parntural, which has introduced the word 'paranatural' I hope it sticks. 'Paranormal' is the go-to word for such things a fairies, but the vibe is wrong. Paranormal implies another world or another level of existence. Fairies are closer to or maybe part of this world and the new word 'paranatural' is a good fit.

Like all anthologies, it had great stories, and it had not so great stories. Highlights are: "The Ugly Unicorn" by Jessica Amanda Salmonson; "The Kith Of The Elf-Folk" by Lord Dunsany; "Flying Pan" by Robert F. Young; and "Kid Stuff" by Isaac Asimov himself.

Anthology of short stories about fairies - most are rather meh, IMHO but a very few are pretty good. ( )

When you came right down to it, you had to be modern. Why, Marianne wouldn't even have seen him, to say nothing of hearing what he'd had to say, if he'd worn his traditional clothing, used his own name and employed his normal means of locomotion. Twentieth-century humans were just as imaginative as eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century humans: they believed in creatures from black lagoons and monsters from 20,000 fathoms and flying saucers and beings from outer space -
But they didn't believe in brownies . . .

A strange mix of traditional fairy tales, fantasy stories, humorous stories, an M.R. James-style tale of eldritch horror and a science fiction tale with fairy-like aliens stealing human babies. Half-way through the book I was interested but not gripped, but apart from "The Manor of Roses", the most enjoyable stories, including "The Kith of the Elf-Folk", "The King of the Elves", "Flying Pan" and "The Long Night of Waiting", were all in the second half of the book. So it's a keeper after all. ( )
