Reviews

'An outstanding collection of stories from a variety of sub genres. I usually don’t like fantasy and I really don’t like zombie stories, but the examples in this collection were so well-written that I couldn’t not read them. As for the other stories? Each was a page-turner. Good thing you can read each story in an evening without missing sleep!' - Jay

'I bought the anthology because I wanted to read 'Cooling Engines' by James Healy, which is a kind of 'Mad Max: Logistics Road' tale, knowing nothing about the rest of the stories. I love a post apocalyptic tale so that was enough to lure me in. The whole collection turned out to be delightfully entertaining and well written which was a treat. The stories are unrelated so if you wanted something bite-size to dip into occasionally they are perfect for that. I'll definitely keep my eye out for the next one.' - Blaise Harvey

'It's been some time since I've read anything by new and up-and-coming authors, and searching about for new science fiction to read one day I discover this. By far the best story collection I've read in some time. Collections can be lacklustre, this one was not. Fantasy and sci fi, leans towards the dark. A great little read. I was pleasantly surprised.' - David Smith
