With action, adventure, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and countless bolts from the blue, A Visitor to Sandahl offers fantasy and sci-fi fans an unforgettable anthology of sublime wonderment and paranormal angst. Edited by short fiction writer C. Lee Brown, thirteen stories like “Lily White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “The Curious Adventure of Kuul-Tom Crinklejinks,” and “Brawl,” are but a sample of the merry madness penned by authors such as Louise Saville, K. A. Stratton, and Bello Wee. From timeless parodies to mystic sages to whodunits, fantasy writers from all over the globe join in on this fantasy fest and while the variety of themes and plots is astounding, the setting is always the same: the mountain town of Sandahl on the continent of Methanasia near the junction of three mountain ranges, the crossroads of major trade routes. Here author Zephyrus White takes us to the Pundaghar Empire where a voyager named Finn teams up with a lavender-skinned companion and a small drago-man. Together they set out to deliver an artifact to High Priestess Astra. Here’s also where Melissa McDonald describes a people-hating mountain lioness that’s transformed into a human by a goddess so that she might rescue Lady Astra. Along the way, the woman-once-lion suffers difficulty adjusting to human customs. It isn’t until the she-lion meets the intriguing Ethan that her mission is accomplished and she begins to understand that people may have their place in the whole scheme of things. A grand collection, this book of bards is what storytelling ought to be: smart, spellbinding, and utterly inventive.
