A Witch's Dozen

Janet Fox presents a curated collection of her finest fantasy and horror short stories in this volume published by Borgo Press. The author brings significant experience to the genre, having contributed to major anthologies such as Year's Best Horror and Year's Best Fantasy. Her work also appeared in The Twilight Zone Magazine and 100 Fiendish Little Frightmares, alongside contributions to Sword and Sorceress. This compilation gathers these diverse pieces into a single accessible format for readers who appreciate the supernatural and the eerie. Fox’s background includes writing under the pen name Alex McDonough, where she produced five novels in the Scorpio series for Ace Books. This experience informs the tone and structure of her short fiction. The book appeals to fans of classic horror magazines and those interested in the evolution of modern dark fantasy. It may not suit readers seeking long-form narratives or non-fiction analysis, as it focuses strictly on short story formats. The collection stands as proof of her versatility across different publishing venues. Readers familiar with small press publications will find this volume a valuable addition to their library. It offers a concentrated look at Fox’s stylistic range without the need to track down individual magazine issues. The organization allows for easy browsing of distinct tales that highlight her command of fear and fantasy elements. This book is ideal for collectors of Borgo Press titles or those exploring the works of authors who bridge professional genre magazines with standalone collections.
