{"product_id":"stories-all-new-tales","title":"Stories: All-New Tales","description":"The joy of fiction is the joy of the imagination. The best stories pull readers in and keep them turning the pages, eager to discover more—to find out, \"And then what happened?\" The true hallmark of great literature is imagination, and as Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio prove with this outstanding collection, great fiction transcends genre. Stories is a groundbreaking anthology that reinvigorates, expands, and redefines the limits of imaginative fiction, giving some of the world’s best writers—from Peter Straub and Chuck Palahniuk to Roddy Doyle and Diana Wynne Jones, Stewart O’Nan and Joyce Carol Oates to Walter Mosley and Jodi Picoult—the chance to work together, defend their craft, and realign misconceptions. Gaiman, a literary magician whose acclaimed work defies easy categorization, and “master anthologist” (Booklist) Sarrantonio personally invited, read, and selected all the stories in this collection, and their standard for this “new literature of the imagination” is high. “We wanted to read stories that used a lightning-flash of magic as a way of showing us something we have already seen a thousand times as if we have never seen it at all.”\n\nThe collection features a wide range of imaginative fiction, including standout pieces such as Neil Gaiman’s \"The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains\" and Joe Hill’s \"Devil on the Staircase,\" among many others. Introduction and notes by Neil Gaiman are included, alongside works by Roddy Doyle, Joyce Carol Oates, Joanne Harris, Michael Swanwick, Chuck Palahniuk, Diana Wynne Jones, Gene Wolfe, Tim Powers, Michael Moorcock, Elizabeth Hand, and more.
