Five From Far And Weird

Five from Far and Weird contains five short stories that are more than a little unusual – and, very enjoyable. Sarah Hoyt has quite an imagination. I was especially taken by Dragon's Blood.
Highly recommended. Here are short descriptions of the five stories (mostly taken from the author's own descriptions).

A Grain Of Salt – When a Man wakes up in Chinese hell accused of defaulting on his tomb payment, he must wonder — and does — what has been going on since he died. More than he can guess, it turns out.
Scraps Of Fog - The ghost of a Portuguese King comes to lead a girl to her own happiness.
The Girl With The Golden Lute - A girl, a mysterious pilgrim, crusaders, a curse... This is based on a Portuguese legend.
Magician's Throne - There is a magical league that extends across all universes, including ours. Here the place of magical gathering is a coffee shop called Magician's Throne. The story concerns a quest for the Arthur — i.e. the true king.
Dragon's Blood - When an errant knight's son goes looking to make his fortune in dragon's blood, he ends up finding something quite different instead. Quest fantasy with a twist.
