Product Description:
Sorcery is all around us. From a child's struggles to control magical powers for the very first time, to the epic clashes of forces of good and evil on a titanic scale, here are more than twenty of the finest in contemporary and classic wizardry tales. Ranging from Michael Moorcock's 'Master of Chaos,' the story of a knight traveling to a castle on the edge of the world to face the ultimate sorcerer, to Peter Crowther's 'The Eternal Altercation,' in which a man is forced into the eternal battle between hope and despair on a sorcerer-controlled train, The Mammoth Book of Sorcerers' Tales also includes stories from Ursula Le Guin, Steve Rasnic Tem, James Bibby, Robert Weinberg, A. C. Benson, Michael Kurland, and Louise Cooper.

I am disappointed in this book. I have read 10 of the stories so far. Each story starts off great and builds into something exciting. Then each one seems to end abruptly. So my problem is with the endings. Each one is worst then the one before.
I would not recommend this book to someone who is starting to read fantasy. It will disappoint them

What an excellent short story collection! Though I have been a science fiction / fantasy fan for much of my life, I have only recently begun to read anthologies such as this one; however, I have read quite a lot in the past few years. Of the 15 or so that I've enjoyed, I do not hesitate to recommend this book as one of the best. Each of its 23 short stories is an amazing work of art that will have readers eager to flip to the subsequent page. With a spectrum of tales ranging from magical events triggered by a seemingly harmless computer game to stories of fairy-tale-like love in jeopardy to wonderfully lighthearted comic fantasies, every reader with the slightest interest in the genre is sure to find something appealing. In fact, with the inclusion of comedy, computers, and modern-day themes, even those who don't normally read fantasy may be hard-pressed to put this novel down!
500 pages is simply not enough, and I can only hope to see more anthologies of this quality in the future.
