To be honest, I didn't enjoy this anthology very much. However, it did introduce me to Paul Magrs and I'm now very much enjoying his 'Brenda & Effie' series.

This is a Kindle book, and (from Amazon) 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital - so it's worth a look to support a good cause!

I am a sucker for anthologies and this one was recommended to me by Amazon, the price was right, and I was looking for something else to read. Something that wasn't in the completely free trash reads I have piled up on my Kindle.

It's been a fun little ride and I recommend it to anyone who likes anthologies of quirky short stories.

One or two good stories mostly indifferent. All fairly predictable and lacking depth. A shame with so many good authors contributing. The better ones are towards the end, generally the simpler less fantastic ones.

Got this a few years ago because it has a Jasper Fforde story. Found out once I finally started it that it also has a Bill Willingham and Mary Robinette Kowal stories as well.

A nice collection of short stories, entertaining and sometimes weird.

[Pers · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting collection - but as is always my moan, the really interesting stories ended too soon!

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Only read the Alastair Reynolds story - it was extremely short (as promised) but fun. :)

The best thing about the mostly average short stories in this anthology is that they are very short. The few good ones, maybe the opposite problem. Mostly not my cup of tea. Not poor, just average. No big standouts for me.
