Black Water: The Book of Fantastic Literature by Alberto Manguel

5.0

I highly recommend this collection for fans of fantastic literature or of short stories in general. You will love most, hate some and if you are like me, there will be a few you just don't even understand (what was that bus scene about in "Visitor From Down Under"??). Whether you take your time working your way through this massive collection as I did (read over 20 years) or read all 967 pages in one sitting - it is worth the time.

I was a little sad to finish this book after all the years we have spent together but luckily I recently found a copy of [b:Black Water 2: More Tales of the Fantastic|147802|Black Water 2 More Tales of the Fantastic|Alberto Manguel|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387740006s/147802.jpg|1146288] in a used bookstore. I plan to finish this collection faster than than the first volume, shooting for five years this time.
