Description
The Mammoth Book of Awesome Comic Fantasy edited by Mike Ashley is a collection of thirty-five wildly imaginative and irreverent fantasy stories from some of the genre’s funniest writers. Bringing together specially written stories and hard-to-find gems, the anthology takes familiar fantasy and supernatural ideas and turns them into something decidedly more absurd, from a computer salesman transported to fairyland to a vampire football match and a wizard with an unfortunate allergy to magic.
Featuring writers including Neil Gaiman, Tom Holt and Terry Jones, the collection embraces the playful, anarchic side of fantasy, with stories that combine magic, monsters, horror and comedy in unexpected ways. Ashley’s selection offers a broad mixture of comic approaches, making it an entertaining introduction to the lighter and more eccentric side of speculative fiction.
A fun choice for readers who enjoy humorous fantasy, offbeat supernatural stories and irreverent takes on familiar genre conventions.
