Beyond the Pale is an anthology of 12 dark fantasy and paranormal stories that skirt the border between our world and others. Was that my imagination, or did I hear something under my bed? What was that blurred movement in my darkened closet? There is but a thin veil separating the real and the fantastic and therein dwell the inhabitants of these stories.
Beyond the Pale's award-winning and The New York Times best-selling authors present:
- "Hooves and the Hovel of Abdel Jameela" by Saladin Ahmed (author of Throne of the Crescent Moon)
- "The Children of the Shark God" by Peter S. Beagle (author of The Last Unicorn series)
- "Misery" and "Shadow Children" by Heather (Zac) Brewer (author of the Vladimir Tod series)
- "Even Hand" by Jim Butcher (author of the Dresden Files series)
- "Death Warmed Over" by Rachel Caine (author of the Weather Warden series)
- "Red Run" by Kami Garcia (coauthor of Beautiful Creatures)

The noun “pale” refers to a stake (as in, one used for impaling vampires) or pointed piece of wood (as in, a paling fence). “Pale” came to refer to an area enclosed by a paling fence. Later, it acquired the figurative meaning of an enclosed, and therefore, safe domain. Conversely, "beyond the pale" means foreign, strange, or threatening. You are about to go beyond the pale.

My favorite stories were, "The Children of the Shark God," "Even Hand," and "Red Run."
I also enjoyed "Pale Rider," "Frost Child," and "South."
Some of the stories had a narrator that used a heavy accent, but luckily I was able to get through them. :)
I would definitely listen to a second volume if there was one.
Better than expected

Two of the stories were a bit difficult for me to understand because of the accent used by the actor performing them but overall I enjoyed the quality of the reading.
If you're looking for a collection of stories with new and interesting themes I'd recommend this one.
