A fantastic collection of 27 stories which range from drabble length to novelette. Simon Kewin is a hidden gem in the speculative fiction genre. Incredibly well-written and enthralling. I'm happy to read more and more. I particularly enjoyed "The One Thousand One Hundred and Eleven Gates to Faerie" and "Midnight in the Room of Clocks."
