A Collection of Epic Fantasy & Dark Fairy Tales

 

A princess crafts marvels in glass but hides her own face behind a veil.

He has slain all other gods, so who is left to lay him to rest?

Her blood is poison and death. Still, she longs for the touch of another human being.

 

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, All the Broken Blades—Y.M. Pang’s debut short story collection—will release in spring 2025. The book features thirteen stories of epic fantasy and dark fairy tale retellings published between 2018 and 2024 in today’s greatest fantasy and science fiction publications—including Strange Horizons, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies—alongside two poems, and one original story exclusive to this anthology.

Praise for Y.M. Pang’s work:

“Vivid, lyrical, bold in voice, and resonant in relationships, Y.M. Pang’s stories showcase the humanity in a despondent prince in a fishgirl tale; a god fighting his eternal-warrior lover, the champion of another god; and a tool of murder’s reality dissolving as she struggles to retain her humanity.”
