Product Description

Product Description

This volume gathers fantasy stories from the last decade that have never before been collected. Highlights from the 22 stories include "The Tree is My Hat," adventure and horror in the South Seas; "The Night Chough," a Long Sun story; "The Walking Sticks," a humorous tale of a supernatural inheritance; and the very personal "Houston, 1943," lurid adventures in a dream that has no end. This is fantastic fiction at its best.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to understand, not very interesting, 29 Jun 2009
By bob (uk) - See all my reviews
The stories in Innocents Aboard reminded me of the ghost stories of M R James. Unsuspecting protagonist, mysterious background or legend, hero drawn against his will into supernatural events. No problem with the formula there. But I found it difficult to understand what was happening because of changes in time and perspective. This was true of all the stories I read in this collection. A couple I just gave up on and moved to the next tale. I also found a lack of logic to the stories. For example, in The Bishop Sails to Enskileen the ending seems unrelated to the story of a missing sacred stone in an Irish Island. I am so glad I got this from the library.
