I am going to write a little of what I thought about each story. Oh and this is a free e-book, so go grab it!
Dormanna: My note says "such a cute story", lets see if I can say bit more shall we ;) This is a adorable story about a girl befriending a little speck of something. The story is adorable, and by fare the lightest in the collection.
Lortrait of Lisane de Patagnia: Really good gothic story. Full of melloncoly and wishing for a past that never were. Beautiful and dark!
The Mongolian Wizard: A very nice alternative world story - quite enjoable and set in a world I would not mind more of. Great steampunk-ish story!
A Tall Tail: The only story I didn't read, it read too much like non-fiction for my taste.
The Finate Canvas: This was so powerful! Oh my that was beautiful and horrible at the same time but I think I can take that then it is this sort. This was a Sci-fi story but why I was reading it, it hit me, that it might no needed to have been a sci-fi to have worked. I am not quite sure why it is is a sci-fi story. But anyway, it is beautiful!
Am I free to go? Wow that was powerful and though provoking. "Would you rather wake up and find the police or robbers invading your bedroom at the am?"
About Faries Such a touching story about lose and the magical world around us and cats. It is one of the better stories I have read about parents growing old and during and dealing with that.

Faster Gun like others I am not quite sure what to think of this story. Its not bad but I am not sure it is good either.
