I am not usually a fan of short story collections; I like really long books, long enough that I feel like the characters are friends by the time I finish reading. However, this collection of stories was delightful. I was engaged from the first story to the last. All three authors, Gratton, Stiefvater and Yovanoff, are popular young adult authors. They created a website, www.merryfates.com, as an avenue for experimentation and critique. This book is a selection (more than 25) of the more than 250 works the three have posted online. Some of the stories originated from an image, others from an idea, a sentence or a common prompt. Just as good as the stories themselves are the comments and illustrations of the authors. Every story begins with an introduction by one of the Merry Fates and comments from the author and has handwritten notes by any or all of the authors throughout the story.  The selections range from stories about the fey and serial killers, to pyromaniacs, dragonslayers, berserkers and ghosts. This would be a wonderful book for any teen who wanted to become a writer.
