Abandoned places can be intriguing, creepy, and forsaken, but are they always empty? In this fourth anthology in the Legion of Dorks presents series, fifteen authors poke around in vacant places and let us see what turns up. You’ll discover the wreckage of an enormous, ancient, alien craft and what it hides, a young woman looking for a shopkeeper, but who runs into a genie instead, an old researcher who travels to a hidden island, an AI satellite that rebels against its programming, a dragonling that threatens the safety of a kingdom, and so much more.
This collection celebrates both wizards and wolves—often in the same story—as it peels back the layers of what it means to be transformed. You’ll read stories of wolves of all kind, plus a wizard passing on his legacy before he dies, and a hockey game played to reclaim part of a stolen soul. You’ll find a twist on the familiar story of a young girl in a red cape, and a tale of a pinball machine that is more than it appears to be. This anthology is dedicated to the late, great David Farland. See what Publisher’s Weekly has to say about it here.
Down a forgotten hallway lie rooms no one has entered. Each room contains a world waiting to be explored. Some beautiful and full of wonder, other dark and full of terrors. You won’t know which until you step inside.
