Reviews
Comprising 15 winning entries from Regency Press's first short story contest, this diverse collection runs the gamut from the intriguingly offbeat to the elegantly traditional and has something for just about every Regency taste. Brief vignettes share the pages with longer, more complex stories, and plots can be comfortably predictable, slightly unconventional, or livened up with a twist worthy of de Maupassant. Warm and romantic, dark and forbidding, chillingly mysterious, gently magical, or surprisingly realistic, these stories vary in both style and quality; and while some are more worthy than others, taken as a whole they provide an interesting and occasionally unusual view of the period. Of particular note are Sarah Anne Starr's memorable "Milady's Murderer" and Susan McDuffie's top-scoring epistolary story, "An Unusual Correspondence." A charming, uncommon collection.
