Reviews at Troynovant;
listed by Author
We apply here no arbitrary length threshold; generally these stories are too short to have appeared as separate books. For those, see Book reviews by Author or by Title. We try to note a story's original publication (often in a magazine) and its inclusion in single-author collections, but generally not inclusion in anthologies. Some links below are to story discussion within reviews of collections or anthologies. This list reordered at Story reviews by Title; below is by Author.

[Athens. Theseus' palace.]
Hippolyta (to Theseus):But all the story of the night told over,
And all their minds transfigured so together,
More witnesseth than fancy's images,
And grows to something of great constancy;
But howsoever, strange and admirable.William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night's Dream, 5.1.23-27
Notes to a Proofreader
Offhandedly Noticing at Troynovant;
whence our concern with Non-Proofreading,
or Creative Typography;
despite, or because, their name is Legion
At Troynovant we are more interested in excellent or distinctive work than the merely timely or fashionable. Quality is always in season, and often more topical and entertaining than currency or fashion admit. Thus, we aim to refer and amuse, rather than to announce and forget. We avoid spoiling surprises in reviews that recommend; other works take their chances.
