I first saw this advertised in a Facebook group and was incredibly skeptical. I'm usually not a fan of collections of short stories.
But this one really blew me away. The authors featured in this collection are incredibly talented. They don't rely on cheap genre tricks to get you through the story. The stories told are short, but they're powerful. In fact, it's almost impossible to pick just one favorite from the collection.
I definitely see myself rereading the stories since they're well-told and, in my opinion, demonstrate how to write a good short story.
