Weil die subscription ausgelaufen ist und ich nicht den Drang hatte weiter zu lesen. Aber die Short Story von Olivier Blake war toll

Overall, I thought that there were quite a few stories that simply were not dark academia, but just a campus mystery, so that pulls the anthology down in general. No stories were exceptional, though I definitely would have loved more of The Unknowable Pleasures. It ended too abruptly and I was invested.
Standouts were: Pythia, The Ravages, Four Funerals, The Unknowable Pleasures, and Phobos.

Each author in this is beyond talented. Each story is so vastly different from each other but in a way they all flow really well together. I loved that some stories left off more with a cliffhanger ending while others were complete. I could read all of these short stories as full novels
