The Best of British Fantasy contains over twenty brilliant stories of the strange and fantastic.
It comes packed with mermaids, impossible quizzes, sorcerous rogues, magic swords, towering monsters, ghostly lovers, unreachable islands, numerous apocalypses, a particularly irritating local councillor, and bees.
"Sometimes melancholic, sometimes humorous, poetic or slightly surreal, they have been brilliantly chosen for the quality of language, story-line and thematic relevance to our passions and fixations in an ever-maddening world." - British Fantasy Society
