Super Wonderful collection of fantasy. A very enjoyable read entertaining and engaging read. Great contribution from a great line up of authors.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I liked the stories contained in this anthology. The story tellers really made the stories come to life.I did find that one or two of the stories was on the short side, and a story here and there that didn't remind me of David Gemmell's writing.

A short but interesting Anthology. A good mix of authors I love.I do love Horner Jacobs Zombie herding as an idea and it is worth the purchase alone.Plus this book supports the Gemmell awards which I'm a big fan of.
It didn't cost me anything but I felt it was a pretty unremarkable collection. I guess Fantasy can be hard to do in the form of a short story and it kind of shows here with most of the authors having to choose between world-building and characters. Maybe they'd have benefitted from having longer stories? Some of the authors had decent prose though so I'm not going to hold it too much against them. The stories towards the back of the book were on the whole stronger but there were some earlier one...
