Sword and Sorceress X (10)
From Tina Good's imaginative retelling of an old legend ("Lorelei") to Lisa Deason's humorous tale of a different kind of were-creature ("Taking Shape"), the 29 stories in this collection featuring female protagonists demonstrate the many faces of the sword-and-sorcery genre. In its tenth incarnation, this anthology represents one of the most consistent groupings of short fantasy and includes series veterans Diana Paxson and Mercedes Lackey as well as a significant number of newcomers to the field. Most libraries will want this for their fantasy or short story collections.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
