Beyond the Pale is an anthology of fantasy, urban fantasy and paranormal stories that skirt the border between our world and others. Was that my imagination, or did I hear something under my bed? What was that blurred movement in my darkened closet? There is but a thin Veil separating the real and the fantastic, and therein dwell the inhabitants of these stories. Beyond the Pale contains twelve dark fantasy, urban fantasy and paranormal short stories by award-winning and New York Times bestselling authors: Hooves and the Hovel of Abdel Jameela by Saladin Ahmed (author of Throne of the Crescent Moon) The Children of the Shark God by Peter S. Beagle (author of The Last Unicorn) Misery & Shadow Children by Heather Brewer (author of Vladimir Tod) Even Hand by Jim Butcher (author of The Dresden Files series) Death Warmed Over by Rachel Caine (author of the Weather Warden series) Red Run by Kami Garcia (author of Beautiful Creatures) Pale Rider & The Adventures of Lightning Merriemouse-Jones by Nancy Holder (author of Wicked) Frost Child and South by Gillian Philip (author of the Rebel Angels series) A Knot of Toads by Jane Yolen (author of Owl Moon) The noun pale refers to a stake (as in impaling vampires) or pointed piece of wood (as in a paling fence). Pale came to refer to an area enclosed by a paling fence. Later, it acquired the figurative meaning of an enclosed and therefore safe domain. Conversely, beyond the pale means foreign, strange, or threatening. You are about to go Beyond the Pale.
