Before she became known for The Magic Thief and her other children’s fantasy series, Sarah Prineas published adult short fiction in fantasy and paranormal romance anthologies. These three collections feature her earlier work alongside stories by other authors.
Best New Paranormal Romance (2006) and Best New Romantic Fantasy 2 (2007) collect short fiction at the intersection of fantasy and romance. The Best of Talebones (2010) gathers highlights from the Talebones speculative fiction magazine, which ran from 1995 to 2009 and published dark fantasy, science fiction, and horror.
These anthology contributions are separate from Prineas’s children’s books and reflect the adult fantasy writing she was doing before HarperCollins signed her for The Magic Thief in 2008.
