Twenty-six authors contribute original trickster tales, including Holly Black's humorous contemporary-set "A Reversal of Fortune" about a competitive eating contest with the devil, Carolyn Dunn's sensory-rich poem "Coyote Woman," and the atmospheric wonder fantasy of Jedediah Berry's "The Other Labyrinth." Consistently strong, the volume includes an introduction about tricksters from different literary and cultural traditions. Reading list.
