“What a treasure trove!”
—Sarah Beth Durst, author of Queen of the Blood
Unicorns: Not just for virgins anymore. Here are sixteen lovely, powerful, intricate, and unexpected unicorn tales from fantasy icons including Garth Nix, Peter S. Beagle, Patricia A. McKillip, Bruce Coville, Carrie Vaughn, and more. In this volume you will find two would-be hunters who enlist an innkeeper to find a priest hiding the secret of the last unicorn. A time traveler tries to corral an unruly mythological beast that might never have existed at all. The lover and ex-boyfriend of a dying woman join forces to find a miraculous remedy in New York City. And a small-town writer of historical romances discovers a sliver of a mysterious horn in a slice of apple pie.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good collection, nice variety of views from different cultures.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5No soft, cuddly unicorns here!Maybe my expectations were too high. Or maybe some of the writers ideas about unicorns and mine didn't mesh. Although I didn't expect to read about my granddaughters' favorite pillow representations of soft cuddly unicorns that are straight out of Disney, I was unprepared for many of the raw facets presented. Unfortunately quite a few of these tales just didn't excite me. I knew this collection was going to be unconventional but it seems I over anticipated my enjoyment. At moments I felt I'd wandered onto some sort of darkly modern gothic TV set.I was taken but not captured by the twist in Carrie Vaughn's “A Hunter’s Ode to His Bait.”I would say my favorite was “The Highest Justice” by Gate Nix but then I've always enjoyed his writings.A Tachyon ARC via NetGalley
