Animal lovers and fans of all forms of fantastic literature will adore this anthology of short stories devoted to creatures other than homo sapiens sapiens. Here are eighteen delightful tales of fantasy, dark fantasy and horror tales told from the viewpoints of the winged, scaled, furred and purely legendary. Herein you will find denizens of the city as well and roaming creatures of the wilderness. Their homes are sky, the forests and even cushy uptown condos. Like their homo relatives, some of these animals are drawn to light and courage, while others serve a darker purpose. Magic spells and portents abound in these stories where you will encounter dogs and cats as well as mice and gerbils--and practically every creature in between. Try Judi Rohrig's marvelously dark and cautionary tale of a wolf that bridges the dark territory between art and animal instinct. If you've been enjoying Animal Planet's Meerkat Manor, you will adore Paul Genesse's story, "The Mob", about a family of courageous little meerkats. C. J. Henderson turns in a wonderful examination of the loyalty of dogs with "All the Virtues of Man", and a dog returns from the dead in Diana Francis' "In Between the Dark and the Light". You'll find incredible stories from acclaimed writers who hail from every conceivable genre within the malleable borders of fantastic fiction. This is a cunning and magical blend of entertaining tales, some light-hearted, some darkly disturbing. All are deeply satisfying. I urge you to click on the cover and discover the FURRY FANTASTIC. It's the perfect cure for the winter blahs.
