		    BLACK WATER edited by Alberto Manguel
			    Picador, 1983, $9.95.
		      A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper

     This is an excellent anthology of "fantastic" stories from all over the
world.  Unlike most anthologies published in this country, it is not slanted
toward American or British authors, but has a wide assortment of Latin
American, European, and Asian authors.  These aren't science fiction
stories.  Most aren't horror stories in the usually accepted sense, though
some are horrific in nature.  The closest common appellation would be
fantasy, though if you're expecting unicorns and elves, look elsewhere.
Run, do not walk, to your nearest bookstore to get this one!
