    This book is a great find. I don't like most short stories because they feel so hurried and cut up. Every one of these stories read as fully formed and complete as a novel. The range of characters is awesome. There's a story about goddesses, another story about a spinx, and quite a few more featuring ghosts and demons.

Worshipping Small Gods is the follow-up to his World Fantasy Award finalist debut collection, The Ogre's Wife- containing fourteen stories, three of which are original to this volume, and all created with the same philosophy- follow where the story leads, and face whatever comes. These destinations range from comic zen parables as in the title story, "Worshiping Small Gods," to the darkest depths of the human heart as in "Voices in an Empty Room." Whether dark fantasy, comedy, near future sf or wry contemporary fantasy, these stories all share that same insight and honesty . . .
