Legendary editor Ellen Datlow has whipped up something evil and fun for SF/fantasy fans who are drawn to cats. Her new anthology, Tails of Wonder And Imagination, is devoted entirely to felines, and they aren't exactly your cutesy wufflemuffins.

Out this month from Night Shade Books, Datlow's anthology is simply packed with stories, and includes giants of the genre like Stephen King, Kelly Link, Carol Emschwiller, and George R. R. Martin. She's also defined "cat" rather broadly, so you've got everything from sabre toothed tigers resurrected by mad scientists, to manticores, tigers, and house cats. And there is certainly enough here to delight anyone who has been mesmerized by a furry pal who can suddenly turn into a screaming ball of WTF.

Hmmm.... I wonder what this book will do in sales vs. Ellens reputation as an editor. Or should I say sales due to her rep?

She was at one time a pretty big deal and had a reputation for treating her writers with better than average manners.

Times do change.
