Thomas Canty’s lush cover to Patricia A. McKillip’s Wonders of the Invisible World hooked Bonnie Lynn Wagner at Backwards Story.

But even if I HADN’T heard of McKillip before, I would have grabbed it anyway because THERE IS A MERMAID ON THE COVER.

I love the artsy feel of a McKillip cover…and a mermaid!? INSTANT BUY.

I haven’t read every single story in the collection so far (I’m savoring them and reading them little by little), but I did read two tales involving underwater creatures so far!

Whether you’re new to McKillip and looking for a way in, or an old fan ready for a new treat, WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD is a great collection to pick up (Especially if you like underwater creatures!)

Read the rest of Wagner’s review at Backwards Story.
