Great collection! I enjoy flash fiction because it lets me get a feel for a genre or author quickly, and this collection didn't disappoint. Not all are my cuppa tea, but it's a lovely collection.

A collection of micro stories by independent/self-published authors across a variety of genres. A nice way to sample new to me authors. The quality of writing was mixed with some stories leaving no impression at all, while others stuck with me for a few days. Overall 3 out of 5

Raccolta di storie da diversi autori 'semi-esordienti', i generi prevalenti sono Horror, Paranormale e Rosa, passando per storie a tema LBGT, qualche giallo e vari altri.
Come spesso accade in questi casi, il libro contiene storie molto buone, ma anche qualcuna 'sottotono' e molto legata agli stereotipi del genere. Certo non è facile scrivere racconti così brevi, per cui va sicuramente apprezzato lo sforzo.
Anche per questo, lo consiglio anche per chi è alle prime armi con l'inglese.
**************
There are a lot of short stories in this book, from more or less experienced authors. Many are from the Horror, Paranormal and Romance genre, but there are also LBGT and a few other themes.
They vary a lot in quality, some are very cliched, but I think the effort is admirable, it's not easy to write very short stories and keep the balance between characters and plot interesting.

Not for me.
I’m really really not into short stories. As such, I’m not sure why I attempted to read this book. If the stories went together, I would have loved it. Alas, it ain’t for me.

I enjoyed some of the stories but didn't really like the vast majority.

It definitely was a varied collection, it helped me get through a reading slump. It felt pretty good to read and finish little stories. I recommend it as a way to continue reading when you have no idea of what to pick up next.
