Summary

Bungee-jumping demons, mad Magi, seafaring aliens, and a tricky wizard who leaks to the press populate this new collection of magic and mayhem from fantasy's funniest, wackiest writers, among them Harlan Ellison, Ambrose Bierce, Neil Gaiman, Craig Shaw Gardner, Harry Harrison, Tom Holt, and many more. Here are the madcap fantasies of "The Case of the Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds", "A Slow Day in Hell", "The Case of Jack the Clipper", "The Shoemaker and the Elvis", and other tales to delight, amuse, and, confuse fantasy fans.
