Want something to read while you sit down for just a few minutes on the bus or in a waiting room? Here's just the thing--Forty authors, forty stories, mostly under 2,000 words, mostly reprints. Grouped according to their themes--death, fairy tales, love, magic, and myth. You'll also find the usual suspects--dragons, ghosts, gods, the undead, weres, and witches.

Just remember--one sitting, one read! Others are waiting!

"For the bathroom, for the bedroom, for the bus to work, for that chair in the department store where bored spouses sit while their wives or husbands try on new clothes... this is a perfect way to entertain yourself during idle moments in a way that won't rot your mind. Read this and have fun." --Allen Steele on SF for the Throne
