Dreams Both Real and Strange I and II is an anthology pack of short stories by K.W. McCabe. Some of the stories are elaborate while others are super short. I was drawn to the darkness of each short story. The subject matter, while dark, ranged from death, afterlife, choices, grief, remorse, and sadness. I enjoyed the variety of characters and how each story carried itself while sharing the same mood overall. K.W. McCabe gives us magic, mystery, and suspense. I could have easily read an entire book of the tales, Choices and Wraith.The extra short story, Fairy Foibles is the only story I did not find satisfying. I found it to be less serious than the other stories, making it seem out of place in the anthology.The anthology ends with a preview of McCabe's upcoming novel, The Dragon's Call. It definitely grabbed my attention, and I eagerly await its release.
