The Malady and Other Stories

Full disclosure, I only read this for The Malady, as I could not find it elsewhere, but the cover is cool anyway and it's a cheap collection. With that being said it's also a weird and completely nonsensical collection...so I'll just tell you what I rated them and move on. 

The Malady is a Tristan and Iseult/Arthurian reimagining, retelling, or alternative version. I won't lie and say I've read the original, but I know for sure this is not it. Morholt arrives on the shores of Brittany with gaps in his memory and a scar on his head...meanwhile Tristan lies abed with a groin wound that's festering. It more or less boils down to changing and saving the legend by having Branwen and Morholt fall madly in love instead. It's definitely weird overall, but personally a 3.5/5* for me.
