A Pageant of Fantasy
A Feast of Thrills
A Revelry of Mystery
A Colloquium of Science Fiction
These four components are combined in this volume to celebrate the art and culture of storytelling. Divided into the above sections, each tale contains a festival, fair, carnival, or celebratory event to honor the antiquity and the importance of writing and scripture: to record history or to alter it, to entertain all types of populations, and to explore and explain the world around us.
We are honored to have fifty-eight stories from the below thirty-nine authors. Their talents have embodied the mission of this anthology. From all walks of life, they have unique abilities to excite and inform, to render realism and alter imagination, to amaze, delight, terrify, and fascinate us as readers. Their work is more than worthy of this, A Celebration of Storytelling.
A Complement of Authors
We are truly lucky to have had such talented authors in our first anthology.
