"We have all heard myriad stories of pirates throughout our lifetimes. Whether they're a murderous and thieving bad guy or the romaniticized swashbuckler, these tales are unavoidable. But why do we love them so much? Because they're fun and exciting, that's why. In The Black Beacon Book of Pirates we get tales that encompass every side of the pirate, from the true villain to those who set out to sea to find wealth and adventure. There's even one written from the point of view of an especially long-lived parrot, one of my favorites in the anthology. The stories collected here are full of high-paced action, tense battles, and treasure, so much treasure. This book is also a rarity; a short story collection where I enjoyed every single story. Black Beacon Books is doing an amazing job of bringing quality fiction onto our libraries, whether digital or physical and I can't wait to read everything they have published."
