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.

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!

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!
