Perhaps living in secret, doing their best to pass for human? Or perhaps their existence is acknowledged, but they&#8217;re still struggling to fit in. How have they survived? Are they outcasts clinging to the edges of society, or do their powers ensure success in the mortal realm? Here are fourteen fabulous tales-ranging from humor to dark fantasy-that explore how the creatures of fae are fitting into the modern world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another great summer read for these dog days of summer. This collection of short stories has a wide variety of styles and different perspectives on the relationships fae have with humans. Some fae try to blend in, some use their powers to manipulate humans, and at least one has no regard for humans. These stories\u00c2\u00a0can easily be read between dips into the pool.<\/p>\n<p>I first read about the project on Palmatier&#8217;s blog and followed its progress.
