Each story is accompanied by a brief essay explaining the relationship between the contributor, their story and the author whose work inspired it. Inside, you&#8217;ll find my short story, <em>Needs Must</em>, and an essay about how Neil Gaiman&#8217;s <em>Sandman</em> served as my introduction to urban fantasy, along with five other stories and essays, and some truly beautiful artwork:</p>
