You can tell a lot about a dragon by their hoard. Not the shiny one, the other one. The one where they keep their favorite things. Some dragons keep a private stash of dwarven-wrought artifices, and others tapestries that run from wall-to-wall and corner-to-corner. The Dragon Lord himself has a library. A library that devours halls and caves, filling them with every kind of book and codex and scroll. These are the stories that fill his favorite shelf. Of course they're his favorites-they're all about dragons. Pull these stories down. Breath in the vanilla scent that only comes from the oldest books. Savor the writing. Trace your fingers over the calligraphy. Welcome to the finest library ever known. Featuring stories by Jilly Paddock, Joanna Hoyt, Claire Davon, J. Patrick Allen, T. Fox Dunham, Dorian Graves, Denarose Fukushima, Kelly A. Harmon, E.A. Fow, Robert W. Caldwell, and Jim Lee.
This book contains ten longish stories and one very long poem. The poem was very bad. Several stories reminded me of pseudo-literary efforts penned by amateurs trying to fill up a book. But there were a few interesting and readable tales here. They are~ 1. Joanna Hoyt's " After the Dragon"; 2. J. Patrick Allen’s weird western "Dragonfly Shadow"; 3. Dorian Graves's "Tipping the Scales"; 4. Denarose Fukushima's "How the Dragon Won a Battle in a Never-Ending War"; 5. Kelly A. Harmon's "The Dragon's Clause". I would remember Dorian Graves's tale for her humour, and Denarose Fukushima's tale for its humanity. The rest, I'm afraid, are already fading.
