Tales From the Age of Legends

Tales from the Age of Legends is a collection of 22 short stories, set in a mythical period when magic was commonplace, vampires and other monsters roamed the land, ghosts tormented their murderers, and wizards and witches were potent and feared. Combining the brisk pace and action of Robert E. Howard, the diabolical horror of Poe, the romance and intrigue of a gothic mystery novel, the surprise twists of an O Henry story, the humor of Twain, the enchantment of fairy tales, the exotic wonder of the Arabian Nights, along with a smattering of steampunk, this book is a stew of heroic and dark fantasy.The stories are woven together by a traveling storyteller named Barret, a monastic educated scribe and adventurer who is also the chief protagonist in some of the tales.
