A mostly enjoyable anthology of dark fantasy/grimdark stories with a pleasing variety of strange places, fantasy races, intriguing characters, and dark, foreboding settings. Most of the stories lacked the real punch of a satisfyingly dark ending; however, a few stood out as excellent: The Face of the King by Adrian Tchaikovsky, Glory to the King by Anna Smith Spark, and The Day the Gods Went Silent by Justin Call.
