bibliogrammaHe Said, Sidhe Said is a collection of short stories by Tanya Huff that deal, in various ways, with the creatures of fantasy, from pixies and Fairie queens to avatars of the Crone and lake monsters from another dimension. Most also fall roughly into the realms of urban and contemporary fantasy, stories where otherworldly beings rub elbows with lawyers and streetcars.
There’s a wide range of moods here, too, from the aching loss and grim determination of a dog moving from world to world in search of his missing human in “Finding Marcus”, to the rollicking hilarity of a Girl Guide leader faced with a troop of Brownies - small, brown, foul-mouthed and quarrelsome wee men - who want to ‘fly up’ to become something new, in “Tuesday Evenings, Six Thirty to Seven.” And then, there’s “Word of Honor,” about a young woman hired to right a long ago wrong, a story powerful enough to make you cry.
If you’ve enjoyed Huff’s approach to urban fantasy in the past, then you’ll enjoy these tales.
