A review by davidallkins
Magic: An Anthology of the Esoteric and Arcane by Alison Littlewood, Robert Shearman, Sophia McDougall, Dan Abnett, Steve Rasnic Tem, Jonathan Oliver, Gemma Files, Paul Meloy, Storm Constantine, Liz Williams, Christopher Fowler, Will Hill, Sarah Lotz, Gail Z. Martin, Thana Niveau, Audrey Niffenegger, Lou Morgan

3.0

The premise of this anthology is fairly wide, but it does result in a entertaining read, with the scope meaning that you're sure to find something that you like. It may not be one of the major fantasy short story collections but there was enough to keep me interested. Multi-author collections are always a gamble and you won't be pleased by everything, but with the talent involved there will be something.
My personal favourites:
If I Die, Kill my Cat by Sarah Lotz
Domestic Magic by Steve Rasnic and Melanie Tem
Party Tricks by Dan Abnett
The Art of Escapology by Alison Littlewood
MailerDaemon by Sophia McDougall
Dumb Lucy by Robert Shearman
