1 star for Peter S. Beagle's story, which I had read elsewhere. Another star for Jane Yolen's story which is absolute gem. The rest are so bleak and jaded it makes for one of the hardest anthologies I've ever read. There is no hope here-just murder, rape, depression, and other sad stories. These are grimdark tales, some with barely a unicorn or even magic included. Do not want. I think Beagle had very little to do with putting this anthology together.
