Mysterious, Monstrous, Metropolitan - A DLP Anthology

Eighteen awesome tales of urban fantasy!

Discover the magic hiding in Indian slums, join the last of humanity on a submarine after the zombie apocalypse, and learn the true cost of mystical power in the modern world. Enter worlds hidden in mirrors, outrun a creature from beyond time, and battle the forces of Hell in the Floating Fortress of Doom.

This anthology is bursting with stories about monsters, demons, creatures without name, and good old fashioned human ferocity.

Mysterious, Monstrous, Metropolitan contains work from 18 strong voices - authors new and seasoned and who see the urban areas of the world not as safe haven from the unexplained and the strange, but as concrete jungles where magic and monsters can thrive!

Praise for DLP Anthology #1:

4.9/5 on Amazon Reviews.

"A truly excellent collection of stories. I would happily recommend any one of them individually, but in a single volume? A definite buy for the discerning short-story reader. Whether for bedtime reading, or those long, boring train journeys, these wonderfully written characters will delight your inner anti-hero and leave you wanting for more."

"One of the best compliations of short stories I have read. Was blown away by the amazing variety of settings below the overarching theme. Definitely worth a buy and read!"

"There lies the major problem with this otherwise well-put-together anthology: as an assembly of work by mostly unpublished authors, I've been limited in my ability to further read work from them. Hopefully, either a second anthology or longer published works will correct this error."
