About this listen

A magical collection of stories new and old spanning across all of Anne Bishop’s most beloved fantasy worlds.

Here, together for the first time, the shorter works of New York Times bestselling fantasy author Anne Bishop are included in one dazzling volume.

A master of bringing fantasy worlds to life, this collection showcases Bishop’s impressive range, from rarities of her earliest writing to the Realms of the Blood, from darker fairytale retellings to the Landscapes of Ephemera, and from standalone stories of space exploration and fantastical creatures to the contemporary fantasy terrain of the World of the Others.

Includes previously published and unpublished tales, as well as two brand-new stories, written especially for this collection: “Friends and Corpses,” a murder mystery in which the corpse has some decidedly unusual qualities, and “Home for the Howlidays,” a heartwarming return to the Blood Prophet Meg Corbyn and the shapeshifting Simon Wolfgard from The Others.

Critic reviews

"While Bishop includes a few stories set in the world of her beloved series . . . readers can also expect a wide variety of new worlds that still contain the familiar themes of feminine power and justice. . . . Recommended for fans who are curious about Bishop's journey as a writer and are interested in reading about the inspiration and motivation behind her stories."—Library Journal

"Bishop has such a gift for deftly drawing the reader into her fantastical worlds, and there is something to delight readers of many preferences. . . . The tough part for the reader will be how to choose which delicious tale to dive into first."—Fresh Fiction

"The Lady in Glass and Other Stories was a delight to read. Some entries are short and quick, some are longer, but all were well done and worth the time. As someone who has only read one of Anne Bishop's stories before, I was only casually aware of her work. Now though, well, excuse me while I go add some books to my TBR list."—Game Vortex

Stories of the others

The only interesting part. An Anne Bishop fan here and had higher expectations of these stories. found most of stories cobfusing rather than entertaining but the story of others made up for it

Very dark and sad

Most of these stories while well written showcase abuse, mistrust, and bad people doing bad things. Not an easy read.

Mixed bag

I wanted to like it. I have read the majority of Anne Bishop's stories several times. I just didn't like the majority of it.

Anne Bishop never fails to amaze me!

I’ve never been disappointed with anything Anne Bishop has written! She is by far my favorite author. Even these short stories are great!

Very short stories.

Stories were a hit or miss for me. I didn’t listen to the Black Jewel ones because the first book in the series did not appeal to me and I never finished it. I’m mostly interested in The Other short stories, the two that were on here were good, but I’m disappointed there were only two. Although I did enjoy some of the rest of the random stories. Warning: some of the stories are really dark, I had a hard time listening to Match Girl, it even had trigger warnings before listening to it in the audio. Narrators were good.
