This is the sixth and, alas, final volume in the New Hampshire Pulp Fiction series of themed anthologies by local authors; this one has a fantasy theme. I got it from the NH Booksellers web site.

Later: While the stories didn't have to feature dragons specifically, a few of them did manage to work some in, while others went in many different fantasty-directions. Among my favorites:

"Some Kind of Hero" by Jason Allard, dealing with magical search-and-rescue and some very brave rats.

"The Mountain Way" by Timothy Boudreau features some kids whose new schoolmate introduces them to the pleasures of screen-free life - with a touch of magical-portal thrown in.

"Captive Breeders" by Leah Brent is one of the more unusual ones - it involves, as the title suggests, a captive breeding program - but of griffins, whose wails when in heat apparently make a horny Siamese cat sound like a zephyr...

"Amoskeag Fibers" by Robin Small is set among the mills of Manchester (most of which still stand, though with very different uses now), and deals with the trials of the young women working in the mills - with the added complication that someone's been weaving strange golden threads into garments, apparently at random, and that those threads just might be drawing people together.

"Up in the Dark Mountains" by Brendan DuBois deals with the changeling myths - and a strong suggestion that (a) they aren't all myths and (b) writers such as H. P. Lovecraft may have based some of his tales on the stories.

"A Guardian of Stone is Never Afraid" by Deborah Walker is a reimagining of "Rumplestiltskin" and similar tales - from the viewpoint of a created bodyguard who narrates - and who has come as close as possible to falling in love with her creator.

"The Lady and the Unicorn" by Terri Bruce is a darkside version of unicorn myths, and posits a completely new version of the famed hunt. {shudder}

"George Washington and the Dragon" by Stephen R. Wilk takes the concept and runs with it - into a post-apocalyptic future, where people have cobbled together their own myths from the fragments of stories, history, and artwork that have survived.

"Where Fantasy Lives... Free" by Michael R. Wilson features an actual dragon, one that's been capturing children at a beloved local amusement park and holding them in stasis (or some kind of faerie-realm situation). The story opens with a man seeking his recently-lost child, and a law officer who's trying to help him come to terms with his loss - and then they both begin to hear the voices of children throughout the currently-closed amusement park. Lovely atmosphere in this one.

And "Fire and Glass" by Jennifer Allis Provost, in which a fae has (pardon the expression) forged a new life for herself as an artisanal blacksmith and glass-blower in a New England tourist town. (The heavy gloves and aprons used in these crafts protect her from the touch of cold iron, which is as problematic to her kind as red-hot iron is to mortals.) She's settled in rather happily and indulges in a community fair and dance, where she meets a very attractive man - but will he be able to deal with her true nature? Or is there perhaps a surprise in store for both of them?
