Everyone knows that heroes should triumph, dragons should be slain, maidens should be rescued, and you should always look at advice from magical creatures warily. But what if things don't go according to plan? What kind of fantasy realms and challenges would you end up having to deal with?

From an author whose unicorn protagonist takes control of the story...to a man who learns how to feign death all too well...to a person who can hear food talking...to a confusing case of murder in fairy-tale land...to an elf on a quest which he fears will never end, here are fun-filled tales of magic gone awry, often with surprising consequences.
