Product Description
Green Knight Publishing's first original release is a collection of stories exploring the downfall of Arthur's realm. What brought about the end of the dream? The answers offered by these tales range from a madman's obsession with justice, to an innocent jest gone horribly wrong, to the pervasive, yet subtle flaws in the idea of Camelot itself. From Dark Ages squalor to fantastic splendor, The Doom of Camelot presents a wide range of tones and styles, with stories from such notable authors as Phyllis Ann Karr, Cherith Baldry, Catherine Wells, Elaine Cunningham, Ed Greenwood, Mike Ashley, and others.

a wonderful read December 9, 2005
These stories were a delightful excursion into the Arthurian mythos, exploring the possibilities, characters, and settings surrounding the legend's end. The stories include some really creative interpretations, strong characterization, and are steeped in the flavor of medieval tales--worthy successors to the original legends. There are moments of pure poetry, as well as plenty of adventure and even humor.
