Book Description:
A collection of adult fantasy tales, compiled from a literary magazine. Reminiscent of a modern Arabian Nights. The style has been compared to Douglas Adams, Chuck Palahniuk, Monty Python. This is a compilation of the literary magazine YXSY GLYXSY (pronounced YXSY GLYXSY). Included within are tales about such heart-warming subjects as; -gluttony, vicious dogs, perverted sex, alien abduction, drunkeness, debauchery, drug-addled states, slimy monsters, obsessive love, thuggery, the pursuit of power, the futility of existence, the existence of God, the quest for true love (or at least a one night stand), and a restaurant review. They are short stories of varied length and quality, but with enough to keep the interest going
My Review:
this is a collection of 54 stories, and each one fits in the fantasy genre. However they range all over the genre and there is definitely something for everyone to enjoy. Some are scary, some are weird and some are out there. Then there are the ones that could happen, and those were the ones that I had to stop and think about before I moved on to the next story. There were so many good ones that I can not pick a favorite, but really like the book as a whole. These were in a magazine, and I will be looking into becoming a subscriber! I am giving this book a 5/5! I was given a copy to review from the author via DGT, however all opinions are my own.
