A Game of Horns: A Red Unicorn Anthology

by Lisa Mangum (Editor), Jody Lynn Nye, David Farland

Red. The color of blood, of war, of passion—and of a new unicorn herd.

A Game of Horns: A Red Unicorn Anthology has gathered 21 original stories about red unicorns from famous and soon-to-be-famous authors, including New York Times best-selling authors Jody Lynn Nye and David Farland. Some stories feature physical unicorns; most do not. Some unicorns are kind; most are not.

From a battlefield to a candy store, from zombie unicorns in rural America to telepathic unicorns on the dark side of Europa, from the fantastical past to the possible future, no creative avenue or conflict remains unexplored by these talented storytellers.

Pick a story. Take a chance. And play A Game of Horns.

It is actually pretty good writing. Sure, it's hard to get attached to characters in the course of only a few pages, but in my opinion practically every contributer brought the pages to live. I had the feeling to be there, instead of just listening to a narrator. And for me that's a main part of what storytelling is about.

Excellent

A wide variety of well written stories are available in this book, all having something to do with a red unicorn. It was a great read.

Wow bad

I found myself skipping stories... I really love anthologies, but even the best will have one or two that a person wants to skip... Maybe it's bad, maybe just not their kind of story.
I can't say which was the case here, because I got to the middle of the book without finishing a single one.

I was the editor of this anthology, so of course I loved it. :)
