A magical collection of stories new and old spanning across all of Anne Bishop’s most beloved fantasy worlds.
Here, together for the first time, the shorter works of New York Times bestselling fantasy author Anne Bishop are included in one dazzling volume.
A master of bringing fantasy worlds to life, this collection showcases Bishop’s impressive range, from rarities of her earliest writing to the Realms of the Blood, from darker fairytale retellings to the Landscapes of Ephemera, and from standalone stories of space exploration and fantastical creatures to the contemporary fantasy terrain of the World of the Others.
Includes previously published and unpublished tales, as well as two brand-new stories, written especially for this collection: “Friends and Corpses,” a murder mystery in which the corpse has some decidedly unusual qualities, and “Home for the Howlidays,” a heartwarming return to the Blood Prophet Meg Corbyn and the shapeshifting Simon Wolfgard from The Others.
Becoming an Ally is a book for men who want to end sexism, white
people who want to end racism, straight people who want to end
heterosexism, able-bodied people who want to end ableism for all
people who recognize their privilege and want to move toward a more
just world by learning to act as allies. Has oppression always been
with us, just part of human nature ? What does individual healing
have to do with social justice? What does social justice have to do
with individual healing? Why do members of the same oppressed group
fight one another, sometimes more viciously than they fight their
oppressors? Why do some who experience oppression develop a
life-long commitment to fighting oppression, while others turn
around and oppress those with less power? In this accessible and
enlightening book, now in its third edition, Anne Bishop examines
history, economic and political structures, and individual
psychology in a search for the origins of racism, sexism,
heterosexism, ableism, ageism and all the other forms of oppression
that divide us. Becoming an Ally looks for paths to justice and
lays out guidelines for becoming allies of oppressed peoples when
we are in the privileged role. A new chapter in this third edition
offers a greatly expanded discussion of effective approaches to
educating allies, which is meant for teachers of adults,
particularly those who teach about diversity, equity and
anti-oppression. In this chapter, Bishop examines the ways in which
Western culture prevents us from recognizing our roles as members
of privileged groups and explores how to challenge this with
participatory exercises and group discussion. "

inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities--vampires and
shape-shifters among them--who rule the Earth and whose prey are
humans.
As a "cassandra sangue," or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the
future when her skin is cut--a gift that feels more like a curse.
Meg's Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to
her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide
is at the Lakeside Courtyard--a business district operated by the
Others.

Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when
he learns the truth about Meg and that she's wanted by the
government, he'll have to decide if she's worth the fight between
humans and the Others that will surely follow.
