A compilation of neat stories, all gems
28. August 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Since I like Misty Lackey and Rosemary Edghill enough to buy them in hardcover, I'll focus on the other stories.
"Bright As Diamonds" by Barb and Michael Caffrey reminds me most of the Lackey/Edghill collaborations, as their style and story reflect that "universe" faithfully. I appreciated their use of the Brisingamen and elements of Scandinavian fantasy -- they incorporated lesser-known mythology into the Lackey/Edghill universe in a smooth manner.
"Bottle of Djinn" was also amusing, and a modern version of the djinn versus humans.
In "Red Fiddler", Dave Freer brings his updated Fear Dearg, the Irish "red man" transplanted to Africa, to us in a thoroughly enjoyable story. True to form, Dave finds some way to bring the forgotten tricksters of our past into a modern world, while keeping their low and vile humor wickedly certain.
"All That Jazz" by Jenn Saint-John..all I can say is, "That idiot, Norenlod."
"Six-Shooter" by Ellen Guon and "The Waters and the Wild" by Misty Lackey were both compelling looks at more disturbing topics. Suicide, in "Six-Shooter" is.."encouraged" by evil beings who then consume the souls of the hapless suicides. Some of the souls fight back for as long as they can. "Waters" begins with a man explaining how someone helped him through a difficult adolescence, and although a sniper's bullet takes him out of this life, he finds that person again.
All of the stories were written by seasoned professionals, even if some of the authors are not widely known to the discerning reader. The skill with which they write is clearly evident, and I look forward to future collaborations in this universe, and perhaps even solo endeavors by these authors (one can only hope!).

Sliding Down the Razor Blade of Life
16. August 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Ever wondered what was just around the corner? Felt like you were being watched, but when you turned around, nobody was there? Maybe you were wrong. Maybe there is something there, behind the flats and props of ordinary reality.
Mercedes Lackey, Ellen Guon, and Rosemary Edghill created a look behind the scenes in their Bedlam's Bard series. What would happen if elves continued to exist in the present day? What would happen if they came to America with the colonists? And what would they be doing?
In Bedlam's Edge, they've opened their universe to other writers, including talented newcomers Barb and Michael Caffrey (who sadly, passed away suddenly and too young), who share their own takes on the world of Urban Elves.
Dave Freer and Eric Flint, Mercedes Lackey's co-authors in the Heirs of Alexandria series (if you haven't read the series, go immediately and buy all of them, including A Mankind Witch, the latest.), Roberta Gellis, Rosemary Edghill, India Edghill, and Mercedes Lackey herself all contributed to this excellent collection of short stories.
Do you have to have read all the other books in the series to enjoy this one? Heck, no! In fact, it stands alone better than most anthologies do.
This is a terrific collection. Every story is a jewel.

elves....
10. September 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I am so sorry Mercedes Lackey closed up her elves series. I like that series even better than the Valdemar series (don't beat me Valdemar fans I really like the Valdemar series too). This book has some really good stories based on her 'bedlam elves' and I reread it every couple of weeks. Please read her 'Bedlam's Bard' series and her 'Serrated Edge' series. The only reason I rated this as less than 5 stars is that I know she doesn't plan on writing more :(
