Review
Though publishing online provides us the opportunity to present fiction free from economic imperative, permitting us, our authors, and our readers to relish in the experiment of expression, one of our great regrets is forgoing the sensation of binding it, printing it, holding the work we proudly select in our hands. Then along comes Dzanc Books, and this gift of a book, Best of the Web, that feels, to us, like the presentation of an award. --Aaron Petrovich and Alex Rose, editors, Hotel St. George
While reading this anthology, you may find yourself muttering, 'Where did Dzanc find such brilliant fiction and non-fiction-y writing? Are they witches?' I don't want to give away too much of the magic, but I will say this ... yes, they are witches. --Eric Spitznagel, web editor, Monkeybicycle

This great anthology includes "Tattooed People" by Seth Harwood which I first experienced as part of A Long Way From Disney - just one of Seth's FREE podcasts available at sethharwood.com
Seth is better known as the author of the amazing Jack Palms Crime podcasts and has gained a huge following among the online community and recently stormed the Amazon charts with the release of Jack Wakes Up on Palms Sunday.
Grab this book and enjoy Seth's wonderful short story among the work of other great writers such as George Saunders, Elizabeth Crane and a whole bunch of others.
