Every story in this shows that hope is necessary. Each one is tragic and beautifully written, but there's a thread of hope running through them all.

accidentallyinspace's review against another edition

DNF after two stories. They are well written and interesting, but the subject matter is slightly too dark for what I need in my life right now.
