Description

The Final Volume in the Acclaimed Series! Volume 5 ends the series with twenty dark fantasy stories. And Rusch and Smith do dark fantasy better than any two writers working today. For more than four decades, New York Times and USA Today bestselling writers Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith wrote professional fantasy short stories that won awards and sold millions of copies. Now, for the first time, they collect together 100 of their fantasy short stories into a five-volume set called Fantasies Collide. Fifty stories total from each author, with ten stories from Rusch and ten from Smith in every volume. The twenty dark fantasy stories in this volume offer voyages into the darkest shadows with just a hint of light. “[The Poker Boy] series is unlike anything else out there. It’s quirky and a lot of fun.” — Amazing Stories “Whether [Rusch] writes high fantasy, horror, sf, or contemporary fantasy, I’ve always been fascinated by her ability to tell a story with that enviable gift of invisible prose. She’s one of those very few writers whose style takes me right into the story—the words and pages disappear as the characters and their story swallows me whole….Rusch has style.” —Charles de Lint
