The stores in Enchantment Place live up to the title, catering to a rather unique clientele ranging from vampires and werecreatures to wizards and witches, elves and unicorns' in short, anyone with shopping needs not likely to be met in the chain stores. Here are seventeen shopping trips you'll never forget, from a store that sells the highest quality familiars, to the non-magical daughter of a magic-filled family who is left to mind the family jewelry store though she has no means to defeat an enchanting thief, to a woman running a Wiccan supply store who is suddenly faced with an IRS audit?
Enchantment Place Reviews
-
An interesting premise. 17 short stories about a mall that caters to paranormal clients. My two favorite stories were "Shining On" by Mary Jo Putney and "Witch Stichery" by Deb Stover. Both had interesting set-ups, well defined characters, and a complete story arc in an abbreviated page count.
"Fire and Sweet Music" by Diane A.S. Stuckart, "Think Small" by Melanie Fletcher, and "Steel Crazy" by Laura Hayden were very good, but not great.
I did not find any of the remaining dozen stories to be interesting or memorable, but neither were they poorly written. -
A good set of stories, many of which had at least some interconnections (and the others would have benefited from such). The stories were all pretty good, with some fun twists. My inner 8-year-old found "The Poop Thief" amusing and also- sort-of- plausible, though this was not the tone of the book as a whole (but it was a very fun last story!).

Fluffy goodness, a series of stories all set (to some extent) in a mall that caters to magical clientele. There were a couple of duds, but largely the stories were fun. I would be very happy to see some of them expanded into novels.
-
Quite well written collection, and truly i admire this ones editor, she seems to have organized bunch of different authors not only to write on the same theme in larger scale, but to put the storyline in a one place, thus giving us different aspects of it...

A very cute and funny anthology! I wasn't sure what I expected but was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this one!! Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys teen reads (it does take place in a mall after all!)!
-
I am only on the 3rd short story but this book is fantastic, a mall where the other world shop. Fantastic, the first two stories were great if the book keeps up I will be lending this to everyone I know. Fun and quick, easy read. Did I say fun?

A good anthology.
I have a retail job, so a collection of fantasy stories in a setting that I can identify with was nice. Speaking of setting, each story has a shared setting. A mall of magical shops in Chicago called Enchantment place. -
Loved this anthology! Actually, I like all the anthologies put together by Denise Little.
-
Really enjoyed this fun and whimsical anthology. I enjoyed pretty much every story (except a couple towards the end), but overall a good read. It was cute and comical. I would read an anthology edited by Denise Little again, should I happen upon one.
-
Like most anthologies it was uneven with some stories being much better than others in terms of plot, setting, character and novelty. Overall the collection was interesting and moderately entertaining, but it wasn't anything special.

Meh. Stories that ranged from okay to tedious, and all unmemorable.
-
Liked the story about the shoe shiner. The rest were just ok. Nothing spectacular.
