5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful collection of stories, December 9, 2011
By 
This review is from: Resistance Front (Kindle Edition)
As a writer and fan of sf, I love this anthology. Ellison has always been a fave of mine. Also A.D. Bloom's story was very strong and we can expect more to come from him I'm sure. Also liked the essay about the future of writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection of Short Stories, December 9, 2011
This review is from: Resistance Front (Kindle Edition)
Entertaining collection of short stories, with something for everyone, from horror to sci-fi to literary fiction. There's a massive number of stories (over 30), and many of them are truly memorable. Among my favorites were "Peripheral" by Joseph S. Walker, "A Rat's Tale" by Richard Roberts, "A Certain Doorway" by Keri Knutson,and "If This Were A Stephen King Story" by Courtney Cantrell. But all the stories are worth a read - not a clinker in the bunch. There's also a number of essays about the future of writing. All in all a great collection that I highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have collection of stories, December 9, 2011
This review is from: Resistance Front (Kindle Edition)
Each contribution to this anthology is a worthy addition on its own. Together they are a bouquet of creativity. You will find yourself looking at the other works of each of these authors. I am already a fan of William Vitka's work in particular.

Give this a try you will not be sorry!
