About the author

Shebat Legion (Elisha Fraser) is the author of "Vampire Therapy: Chronicles of the Cat's Ass Boutique", a collection of short stories that serve as a prequel to her first novel, "Jackson and Eva." Shebat Legion's works of comedic horror have also appeared in 'Hoblin Goblin' a Vamptisy Anthology, and John Mannings 'Terror by Gaslight.'

Shebat Legion displays a gift for spinning tales, mixing genres, and spoofing sacred cows with poetic flashes of wicked wit, laughingly risqué yet always balanced with moral sensitivity and innovative resolutions.

Shebat/Elisha resides in a small town far from the crush of civilization. She enjoys meditating by the side of her lake and rambling through woods with her beloved canines.

Reviews

[Carlton Herzog · Rating 5 out of 5]

I didn't think the book would live up to the hype. In the law, we call such things "puffery". But as an artist myself, I could not resist the eye-catching cover. The anthology proved to be both an entertaining and an engaging collection of clever well-written stories. Regrettably, I cannot give a shout out to all the authors. Let me just say that I particularly enjoyed the first three stories: "And Now This Important Message", "Andricus", and "Monkey and the Cat". The rest were equally good. And if I can say anything more about the anthology, it is that it is well worth the price of admission.

A delightful collection of short stories. Fantasy, science fiction, horror, humor, alternate worlds, and a bit of steampunk, it has something for everyone. Some stories were pure entertainment, some made me think, and one or two made me laugh. Every author's voice is different, some of the imagery lovely, and some had twists I didn't see coming. Though I do have my favorites, Monkey and the Cat, A Flea in the Sake, and The Shape of Stone, all are worth reading.

I'll be waiting for volume two.
