Mr. Phipps knows how to spin a yarn!  But alas, (and this is the reason for only four stars), though he has improved, he is still making a tremendous number of typos in his stories.  Most of them have to do with his use of punctuation (failing to double-quote the start of paragraphs is the most prevalent) but a few were a bit more egregious.  For example, his use of "effect" instead of "affect," and vice versa.  Some of the stories are left incomplete.  For example, the story that places us on a nightmare world where we learn that the hero has been tasked with...well RAFO. The problem is, he never finishes the task.  Perhaps that's grist for a novel in the future, but I sure would have appreciated an ending that at least showed us the hero beginning the quest assigned to him by the goddess.  Then I could at least anticipate the next step in the story.Despite its flaws, this anthology is most readable and downright fun!  Though a bit short, it was still worth the price and I encourage all and sundry to lay aside their language nazi predilections and pick this one up.  Its a page-turner and well worth the time spent between the covers!
