I loved all the stories in this.  Black_samvara | Jul 13, 2008 |  Read it years ago. Not bad -- I actually enjoyed seeing Donaldson write something shorter (and more to the point).

Obviously a disease that has proved seriously catching. Because the Illearth War was too long originally and threatened to turn into a black hole, this is a part chopped out of there and deals with Korik the Bloodguard's quest to Seareach, so is not a Thomas Conveant story as far as that goes, directly. Lords, Giants, fighting as a big finale, too. 3.5 out of 5 Unicorn revival. 3 out of 5 Wizard lust magic disguise. 3 out of 5 Hunting cyborg armed animal casualties. 4 out of 5 Bloody rooted. 3 out of 5 Bugged relationship. 3 out of 5 Witch execution cauldron escape. 3.5 out of 5 3.5 out of 5 http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2007/12... (  ) bluetyson | Dec 27, 2007 | bluetyson | Dec 27, 2007 | This book is well worth reading for the first story alone... next to Gaiman's 'Chivalry', 'Daughter of Regals' is my favourite fantasy short story. It has everything a fantasy novel should have - magical people, magical beasts, a well-written main character and supporting cast, and all the politics that should go with any governmental system - all condensed into a very readable 86 pages. It's gripping, and its format lends it extra pace. Of the other stories in the volume 'Sir Visal's Tale' and 'Animal Lover' compete for second place, while 'The Conqueror Worm' is perhaps the best known - and possibly the most predictable. As with 'Daughter of Regals', though, the short, pacey style of it doesn't let you lose interest before the painful conclusion.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345314433, Mass Market Paperback)The Creator Of Thomas Covenant Adds Eight New Wonders To The World.In his first collection of short fiction, the bestselling author of White Gold Wielder presents eight superb stories, including "Gilden-Fire," the famous "outtake" from Illearth War, and two brand new novellas written especially for this edition. Enter a world of mystics and unicorns, angels and kings -- all realized with the same dazzling style and imagination that has made Stephen R. Donaldson a modern master of the fantasy genre. Daughter of Regals is a fantasy novella concerning a unique royal line and an unusual conception of magic. The Conqueror Worm is a deliciously creepy "horror" piece in which havoc is wreaked by one lowly centipede. Ser Visal's Tale begins as a simple story told over several flagons of wine at the local inn, this novella ends with a surprising twist. Gilden-Fire is the famous chapter about Korik of the Bloodguard and his mission to Seareach that was part of the original manuscript of The Illearth War, but omitted from the published version.
