I've been reading this on my morning bus commute. I've missed my stop twice because I was so engrossed in one of the tales. I'm a Charles DeLint fan which is why I bought the book. It introduced me to a whole bunch of interesting Canadian writers with great stories to tell. The famous Canadian monster story is a hoot. Who knew Canada had so many national monsters?
Being an avid De Lint fan I bought this book since he is included.Interesting collection of stories. Nice to read other things from other authors besides my favorite De Lint.Something different to buy.
A great collection of Canadian authors and Canadian settings. Very well written and exciting.
