DESCRIPTION:
Haunting, Bleak, Jarring, and at times Unpleasant Stephen Arvidson What is it about cats that captures our hearts and enslaves us through their furry charm? Award-winning anthologist Ellen Datlow showcases that unanswerable question with an assortment of 41 stories devoted to felines of myriad sorts—where cats are both the heroes and the villains, mythical and domestic, feral and cuddly, and so forth. Enclosed in this anthology christened Tails of Wonder and Imagination are works by some of the most accomplished writers of the last century, both known and new, from lit. Cat lovers should avoid this book Wish I had read the reviews before I started the book. Excellent writing but some of the most twisted vile treatment of cats and frankly, humans as well. This stuff will give me nightmares for weeks.. Cat-agorically delicious! BookLover316 Cats tales in fantasy and sci fi are thin so to find a delightful collection like this made me curl up and purr with delight! From fanciful retellings of fairy tales, imagined thoughts of famous cats, classics retold or futuristic stories I enjoyed them all and so will you. From haunting to sweet these tales leave a mark on the psyche like no other. Datlow out did herself again.
