Secret Stairs: A Tribute to Urban Legend by Daniel Humphreys, Kristen Brand, Russell Newquist

4.0

This anthology includes more than 30 short stories rather from fantasy to romance retelling urban lore. Each story rings true due to the cultural diffusion of urban lore--thanks Internet. While the tone of the stories varies considerably, the quality remains consistently high. Some of my favorites include Fire and Pine by Bethany C. Gotchall, the Curses We Carry by Russell Mahon, and Where Angels Fear to Tread by Michelle Mellon.

This is an ideal book for someone who wants to taste a number of genres. While some anthologies are hard to access, this one is incredibly easy to enjoy. Give it a try.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
