3.0

I won this anthology in a Goodreads giveaway. Mixed bag of stories, prose, and poetry. My favorite story was Laurent McAllister's "Kapuzine and the Wolf: A Hortatory Tale."

I also liked Ken Liu's fascinating "Nova Verba, Mundus Novus," Nick Kocz's chilling "The Last American Tiger," Sequoia Nagamatsu's modern kappa myth "Headwater LLC," Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam's tale of extraterrestrial visitors "The Wanderers," Deborah Walker's poem "Sea Monkey Mermaid," Leonard Richardson's hilarious "Let Us Now Praise Awesome Dinosaurs," and Jerry Oltion's thoughtful and bizarre "A Star Is Born."
