Reliquary is an anthology of Science Fiction and Fantasy short stories on the theme of relics. Authors were invited to interpret the term "relic" in whatever way made sense to them, resulting in an exciting and eclectic mix of stories. Some key definition included: Container for storing holy artifacts. Or unholy ones. A small box with hinged lid suitable for hiding demons from the past. Crate, trunk or case. Usually with baggage. The last place you'll ever look. This is the second anthology from the Hourlings, a writing group based in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
