Mike Ashley

Between horror and fantasy lies a world in which the inexplicable remains unsolved and the rational mind is assailed by impossible questions. Welcome to the realm of Dark Fantasy, where safe answers are beyond reach and accounts of unanswerable dilemma find their home. Delving deep into the sub-genre, fiction expert Mike Ashley has gathered an unsettling mixture of twisted tales, encounters with logic-defying creatures and nightmarish fables certain to perplex, beguile and of course, entertain.

Bewildering Tales of Dark Fantasy

Doorway to Dilemma

definitely one of the better ones in the series. list of the short stories i enjoyed when i get back home.

edit: i actually liked quite a few of these and would urge you to seek them out. favourites were:
"the lady, or the tiger" and "the discourager of hesitancy", "the mysterious card" and "the mysterious card unveiled", "the new mother", "the three marked pennies". "the white people" was good in concept and in terms of content but goodness, i have no idea why the author thought a diary format means no paragraph breaks and many, MANY run-on sentences starting with "and".
