A ghost searches for revenge in ancient Egypt. A boy unearths the bones of a dragon. A girl risks awakening a dark god to save her dog... He reached out a hand and touched Grace’s cheek. The touch made her shiver. 'You can’t save everyone, Grace.''I don’t want to,' Grace whispered. 'Just her.'At the Gates and Other Stories is a collection of sixteen fantasy short stories. Reviews of stories in this collection 'This is the first story I’ve heard this year that I’d consider a masterpiece. It’s rare for a story to move me to tears, but this one did. The writing is perfect, capturing the period and expressing the torments of war brilliantly.' - John Dodds, The Fix on The Western Front 'Marvelous.' - Colin Harvey, Suite101, on At the Gates 'This one kept me turning the page without pause, with its natural pace and flow of words, good characterization, and skillful plot build-up. Samphire’s writing skill is matched only by his knowledge of Ancient Egyptian culture and mythology.' - Scott M. Sandridge, Tangent Online, on The Land of Reeds. 'A great coming-of-age story.' - David Roy, epinions, on When the Dragon Falls 'Patrick Samphire offers an updated Arthurian fantasy, an elegantly crafted modern-day take on the Matter of Britain.' - Gardner Dozois, Locus, Issue 598 on CamelotThe Stories - At the Gates - Five Things of Beauty - Uncle Vernon’s Lie - Finisterre - A Veil, a Meal, and Dust - A Field Guide to Ugly Places - Slipper of Glass - The Equation - When the Dragon Falls - Dawn, by the Light of a Barrow Fire - Camelot - Crab Apple - The Sea Beyond Thule - The Land of Reeds - The Western Front - Dragonfly Summer
