This pretty much is what the title says. Many of the stories/novellas here will have only been done in limited print runs, such as in fanzines, magazines, pamphlets, special editions or online magazines. It’s a mixed genre of stories and these are what Brian considers the best of the rest of the stories in his body of work. We’ve got 111,000+ words in this collection so that means lots of enjoyment in what is likely the last collection coming from Brian.

“Phantoms” and “It is Enough” were written next after “Fathers and Children.” Although one of Turgénieff’s minor works, the critics pronounced “Phantoms” original, wonderfully artistic and philosophical, and wonderfully lyrical. The author himself called it “a fantasy,” as he did other sketches in which he sometimes poured out, in lyrical form, his sadness evoked by the contrary laws of nature, and man’s aspirations toward the absolute, the eternal. It demonstrates the somewhat mystical romanticism which lay concealed in Turgénieff’s nature, and only occasionally came to the light.
