Jeff Vandermeer and his circle of weirdos got together and decided to write stories in the surprisingly fecund format of a diagnostic guide to diseases.

    <body><![CDATA[Purporting to be the latest edition of a long-standing medical guide, <em>Lambshead</em> is, in reality, an anthology featuring several of today's best fantasists working at the top of their game. Some entries are humorous, others are serious, but all are enjoyable. There's a sense of fun to this book that's...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4533969">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is silly and cute and a pretty fun read.  The book is an anthology of imaginary diseases invented by a slew of sci-fi and fantasy writers.  A few are priceless, and I was not surprised at all that Michael Moorcock and Neil Gaiman wrote most of the reports that were the funniest and most inventi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44646667">more...</a>]]></body>
