No Dunk and Egg
By Tabby
This page lies. This book, the Shadows, Gods and Demons "volume", does not contain the Dunk & Egg story by GRRM. Don't be misled like I was. If you are looking for that story, you need to get the Dragon, Sword and King "volume".

Does not contain George Martin's "The Sworn Sword"
By kev119
Posting this review as a warning. I bought this as a gift for my wife - was hoping to pick up all three chapters of the ASOIAF prequels for her for Christmas. Turns out this edition ("Shadows, Gods, and Demons") is an abridged edition which does not contain his story. Amazon's description of the item contains a statement that the inside flap of the book indicates the George Martin story will be included, but the paperback version does not contain this story. Best of luck and happy shopping!

Love these authors' worlds? Get another peek here.
By Esther Schindler
This series, edited by Robert Silverberg, invited authors of best-beloved SF/F books to write a novella set somewhere in their fictional universe.
How well each novella works for you depends on how well you know-and-love that universe; if you never read Silverberg's series set in Majipoor or if (as for me) that story was enjoyable but not OhWowOhWow, the novella set in that world may be only "okay." If you adored an author's world, however, this is another visit to a favorite country, and just one of these stories could be worth the price of the book.
For me, that was the first tale in the book: Robin Hobb's novella about how the Rain Wilds were settled, set long before the events of the Liveship Traders. This is not an extra bit of dialog scraped off the cutting room floor... it's a whole other examination of Hobb's marvelous world, adding new dimension, characters, history. And it's absolutely wonderful.
I also enjoyed another story from Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" universe -- in which Shadow finds he's made an uncomfortable bargain -- and Anne McCaffrey's examination of what happens when someone (in this case Moreta) is lost "between"... but they were four-stars to me, not five. On the other hand, if I was totally into those worlds, I could easily imagine giving them five-stars. It's that kind of collection.
I haven't made it through the other tales here, yet: one each from Majipoor by Robert Silverberg, from Otherland by Tad Williams, and from Riftwar by Raymond E. Feist. I'm not in a hurry to do so, since I either haven't read those series or it's so long ago that I no longer have the passion for 'em (Majipoor was good, but there are other old Silverberg stories I loved better; I'm aware that such an opinion is in the minority).
However, I'm also not afraid to tackle the novellas, either, since Silverberg writes excellent "Cliff's Notes" before each contribution, summarizing the books in each series; if your memory of Pern is dusty, Silverberg's intro will remind you of the details to bring it all back. And if you read only part of the series (as I did with Majipoor) it's kind of fun to get a sense of what happened after you wandered away.
I really enjoyed this set of novellas. If you're enthusiastic about even one of these worlds, it's worth the price.
