Skymningssång och andra fantastiska historier

A collection of short stories mostly set in mundane worlds but with greater or smaller hints of the fantastic. The stories are all pretty amazing and some makes you think about how our world works (or doesn't work as it may be).Some of the worlds the stories are set in I would like to know more about. And some we do get to know more about. Two of the stories Gustaf Frödings hemliga liv and Skymningssång have sequels (or maybe side-quels?) that lets the reader know more about those stories and settings.The stories or worlds besides those that I feel I would like to know more about is the authoritarian world of Författardrömmar with its very powerful publishers. And who (or what) exactly is running the office in Inbjudningskortet? Those two stories I would certainly like to know more about with more stories set in those worlds.Kretsloppets vedermödor got me thinking about [b:Hyperion 77566 Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos, #1) Dan Simmons https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1332885131s/77566.jpg 1383900] and how the cruciform gets used in later books in that series, even though the story here isn't quite like that and we don't get to follow the story that far.In these seventeen stories we meet all kinds of fantastical creatures. Dragons, zombies, vampires, people who can manipulate time, some sort of succubus, trolls, demons, Death, oh, and I'm pretty sure Mr. Morden from Babylon 5 makes an appearance asking his: What do you want?All in all I think these stories are as I said pretty amazing and worth a read. I had a very good time reading them and every time I read a title before starting a new story I was wondering what kind of fantastical world I would be stepping in to this time. And I was never disappointed.
