Synopsis
Flirt with the unknown in 17 unusual tales of blind dates...
When people embark on blind dates, they never quite know what they will find-and the dates in these mostly modern- day urban tales go far beyond the usual expectations.
Here, these 17 romantic hopefuls encounter surprise first dates with the likes of Zeus and William Shakespeare; Medusa wreaks havoc upon Internet predators; a woman is cursed to see the truth about her dates after drinking a little wine; and more.
All of these very different dates begin with the hope that romance will result. Some will find a happily ever after, while for others there will be no "ever after" at all...

From Publishers Weekly
Real-world first dates may often end badly, but most of the entries in this gathering of supernaturally charged dating adventures end more than well enough to satisfy. The 17 stories range widely in scope and flavor. Standouts include Scott William Carter's tale of a haunted stereo, Diane Duane's crisp updating of a Scandinavian legend, Jacey Bedford's modern yet enchanting The Urbane Fox, and Diane A.S. Stuckart's clever Who's Behind the Door, which opens the volume with a clever riff on the vintage board game referenced in the anthology's title. Few stories are less than entertaining, though Laura Resnick's By Any Other Name revels a little too much in deliberate clichés, and no less than three selections involve ancient Greco-Roman myths. There are both dark tales and light among the offerings, and while fantasy dominates, horror and SF are both represented. As theme anthologies go, this one is unusually successful. (Feb.)
