The second of the landmark fiction anthologies from The Ministry of Whimsy Press, edited by Jeff VanderMeer and Rose Secrest. This volume was a finalist for the British Fantasy Award, with Stepan Chapman's "Minutes of the Last Meeting" listed as among the best stories of the year by Best of the Rest. Not since the halcyon days of the Renaissance and Boccaccio's Decameron have writers had as much fun with the novella or "long story".
