By Lawrence Watt-Evans
- Release Date: 2023-03-05
- Genre: Fantasy Short Stories
Here are ten tall tales by fantasy author Lawrence Watt-Evans - stories set in times and lands that never were, but should have been. Join Jolly Jack Dancy's crew as they try to figure out what their captain has gotten them into this time. See Thomas "Windwagon" Smith race a Martian sandship across the red sands of Mars. Go shopping with a woman who knows all the best places to buy, even if they don't exactly exist. Visit Coney Island in 1905, where millionaire John Chester Glatfelter thinks he knows a new way to make people have fun. Meet a runaway elf, a demon too clever for his own good, a man who'd do anything to see an angel, and a magician whose demonstration of his talents works a little too well.
And in two never-before-published stories, arrive three days late for a hanging that didn't go as planned, and learn why a girl with wings can't fly.
