Brilliant Things is a collection of thirteen stories full of hope, heroism and heartache, containing entries from award-winning anthologies (Extremes 2, Hideous Progeny), ones nominated for Bram Stoker Awards and a highly commended in Year's Best Fantasy & Horror. All the stories have been previously published (bar one, and the magazine that had bought it folded before publication) - but it was an excellent idea to gather them all together in one place. Bell, Book and Candle and Saint Joan are part of the Thy Kingdom Come collection, and can be found online here.
