As is usual for a book of short stories, some were better than others.

Need a fun read? Try “Fantasy Gone Wrong", edited by Martin H. Greenberg. Greenberg, along with Ellen Datlow, is one of the premiere curators of SF and fantasy fiction, and he's just as good with this collection. This time around, he focuses on magic that doesn't quite work the way you'd think.

Most of the stories are clever rather than funny, but the funny ones have me rolling. Of particular note is Phaedra M. Weldon's "The Rose, the Farmboy, and the Gnome", in which a fairy Godfather make a young man an off he can't refuse. Highly recommended.
