A collection of short stories that entertaining especially if you are a fan of monster tales. This is something that you can read at Halloween Story Time (why we have to wait till Halloween to read this?) Every story has its own unique monsters and traits. But some stories leaving a long last impression on me. I pick 3 stories that I love most.
1. The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bee by E. Lily Yu.
2. The Compleat Werewolf by Anthony Boucher.
3. The Cockatoucan Or Great Aunt Willoughby by E. Nesbit.
Overall, this is a book you can read when you have reading slumps. It is not dragging and you can pick which stories that you like to read.

+ Невероятна фантазия в повечето разкази
+ Много ми хареса преплитането на различни приказни мотиви в Prismatica
- Разказите не са на Нийл Гейман, както очаквах от заглавната страница.
- Разказите се оказаха повече детски приказки
Изданието на ProBook е отвратително с постоянни печатни (по няколко пъти на страница тиретата са придружени от букви върху тях) и правописни грешки. Има различия в имената на авторите и приказките между самата творба и думите в заключение на последните страници.

E. Lily Yu 's story "The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees" is the second story featured in this collection. It is a gem.

No collection of short stories is going to be all gems. The writing styles vary pretty widely, and some I just couldn't get behind. But some of these stories are great and a lot of fun, especially Maria Dahvana Headley's story.
