    I tend to struggle with short stories in general but i like a single author collection more than an anthology


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This collection is grouped by theme horror standing against the dark etc


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Sometimes the ending of the previous short story flows into the next for example 34would it bother with anything so mundane


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The flow of the stories make it an easy read but the part of me that likes to study an author growth would prefer things in date order


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is a worldbuilding thought experiment not a story with character driving the plot


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
