She collates\/curates some of the best and most imaginative anthologies, and her latest &#8211; AIR:Sylphs, Spirits, and Swan Maidens is an outstanding example. The stories &#8211; incredible flights of fancy &#8211; are by turns elegant, puzzling, scary, and lovely&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.5&#8243;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Anastasiia Nesterenko&#8221; job_title=&#8221;Amazon Reviewer&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Anastasiia Nesterenko Testimonial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really like this anthology series.
