Welcome to the world of the macabre, to sword and sorcery. K G McAbee has put together a collection of previously published short stories, guaranteed to keep you reading. Disguised dragons, wizards with varying levels of powers, even a twisted fairy tale, make up the assorted characters in this dark collection.

All the stories are short, with tightly woven plots. The writing is crisp and clear, and the characters are easy to picture in your imagination. The plots are occasionally humorous, definitely entertaining, and move quickly. There are a couple of stories which leave the impression they may be part of a larger work, but this doesn't take anything from the tale.

If you're looking for quick, short, tales of fantasy to fit into your busy life, this collection will do just that. Before you Cast Away the Works of Darkness, you'll be looking for the light switch .
