It is rare for me to find an anthology that I have enjoyed every story. Herika R Raymer has done an amazing job in selecting the perfect stories to fit in this anthology. There were many stories I loved but they were all enjoyable reads. I think that it is awesome that there is a mix of stories, poems and art. Going into this anthology I did know a couple of the authors but was so excited to find several new to me authors that I fully intend to read anything by them I can get my hands on. Robert...more
Clockwork Spells and Magical Bells is a collection of short stories based on "magic vs. machine" with an emphasis on fantastical creatures (in this case, elves and dwarves).

Industrious dwarves, elven espionage, dragons and wondrous inventions feature, as well as a selection of thought provoking poetry. My personal favourites were Time by Windsong Levitch, and the series of Haiku’s by Michael Greenway, as well as the shorts from authors Kathryn Sullivan, CRS Bailey and Alexander S. Brown. I’m not usually a fan of short stories, as I often find they lack direction or conclusion. It usually means I either feel compelled to finish the book, or I simply put it down &...more
