They're nasty and mean. They terrorize the countryside, and grind up bones for their bread. They tower over trees and mountains, flatten villages with one step, and hoard so much treasure you'd think they were dragons. They're giants; the subject of the winter issue of Spellbound.
We have sick giants, well giants, shy giants and lost giants. We have giants who want to be friends and giants who just want to be left alone. The story, "May Hill", shows why sometimes it's best to leave sleeping giants alone. In "The Giant of Wasselwharf" the village of Wasselwharf has always wanted a giant of their own like other towns, but when a giant walrus shows up it might be too much of a good thing. "The Giant's Epitaph" wonders what's in a name?
There's plenty of amazing art, a giant-sized reading list, and much more.
