Reviews

[Hákon Gunnarsson]

I’m not going to rate this anthology, even if I think it is very good, simply because I own one of the story in it, and might therefore not be completely impartial.

The story I own in this is called “The Ballad of the Fire Spewing Dragon”, and is a humorous fantasy story. I take the idea of that mythical creature that can sometimes be found in fantasy stories, and twist it a little. The dragon is the main character, and he can really spew fire, but it is presented more from comic side then anything else. I can’t really go that far into this without going to far, and so I’ll leave it at that.

For me as a writer this was a important book, because this is the first time a story of mine is reprinted. This story had previously been published in the anthology called Ellipsis…, another book that I’m quite happy with having done, but it was the only fantasy story there, so it fits in some sense better here alongside other comic fantasy stories. Anyway, if you read it I hope you like it.
