A note for parents
This is an adult short-story anthology featuring well-known fantasy and science-fiction authors. While individual stories vary widely in content, the collection includes work from authors known for mature themes, dark humor, and morally gray characters. The presence of George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones story and contributors like Gillian Flynn and Joe Abercrombie suggests some stories contain violence, adult language, and complex moral scenarios inappropriate for younger readers.
