Synopsis

All-new edition of one of the bestselling Mammoths ever -

from the funniest writers in the field, including Tom Holt and

Esther Friesner. Some 35 off-the-wall comic fantasies feature

in Mike Ashley's new collection, a mix of specially written

stories and hard-to-find gems. A missionary plunged into the

initiation rites of a lost tribe, a wizard allergic to magic and a

man who finds his shoes have taken over control of his life -

Ashley expertly turns fantasy and horror fiction on its head and

magic into mayhem. Huge fun.

Fine addition to any fan's library ... The quality of the works that are included is quite superb. (Sharon Gosling SFX Magazine)
