Wander the aisles of the goblin marketplace, where anything can be bought or sold, and where the bargains struck can amuse or captivate!
"I wandered into this collection with the innocent expectation of finding…something familiar to my imagination. Of course, I was wrong (it is one of my skills).
You see, it’s not. It’s a doorway into other people’s imaginations. Thankfully, they’ve been curated by people that took out the ones that you really didn’t want to look into. That’s not to say that what they chose would not take you very, very far away into very strange places, very fast. The goblin market of ideas is, as this book represents, a place full to bursting, and the exotic brims with the strange allure of worlds not quite seen. They are tempting, exciting, and some a little disturbing. Its visitors bring back stories that will amuse, titillate, and in some cases, remain with you."

I normally don’t read fantasy but I have decided to try to read all the Raconteur Press anthologies. The stories in this volume are more than palatable. Although they have a single theme, all are different in their own right. This was an enjoyable read. Recommended.
This is a great book, all the stories , all the Authors , it’s like a soup for the soul and a joy to read, it has keeled me past my bedtime a few times, like now, but it is worth it, thank you for this, I find it hard to find fantasy that fits my taste, but this one is a keeper, this one is a cozy night sitting in your chair with a pile and tea kind of book……. Bilbo would love this book🤠. Thank you again, I hope there’s more to come.
The first story in the collection, Lost and Found, was my favorite, and had the most unsettling feel to it, the otherworldly quality that fit my idea of what a Goblin Market would be like. The other stories were fun and it was a good read, overall.
I really liked the variety of stories in this book. You've got someone who sells bugs, someone with a frog's head, faeries, goblins, girl rabbits, LSD and a bunch of other stories. There was only one story I didn't like but the rest I did.
Something for everyone in this anthology. Touching, heartwarming, twisted, you name it. It’s there for you! Grab a toddy of your choice, sit back, relax and enjoy!
