Welcome to Fantastic Top Fives with Wyrd & Wonder!

Every Monday throughout Wyrd and Wonder, we’re going to recommend a fantasy read in five words.

This week, we’re celebrating shorter reads in fantasy – believe it or not, not every fantasy book out there is an absolute unit. So, let’s take a look at our favourite zines, anthologies, individual short stories, novelettes and/or novellas!
