cj_jones's review
5.0
Another anthology I loved. It's about alienation and 'othering' with monsters standing in as a metaphor for immigrant or marginalized communities. A lot of different angles on the topic, and I never felt like I was getting beaten on the head with the Message.
Favorite stories include
Cataclysm Child, Ville Merilainen, a mix of Frankenstein and Iron Man, a created being works at making a family of his own.
Someone's Checking You Out Right Now, S. qiouyi Lu, a very short piece, a quick punch in the form of an OKCupid profile.
Righteous Anger, Lucinda Gunnin, a were story made fresh by setting it in an angelic community.
Home by Hallowe'en, Michael M Jones, an interesting take on the Changeling story.
To Come and Go, Jimmy Bernard, a zombie romance that touches the heart.
And this is not to indicate that the rest of the stories are weak 'just filler'. This is a strong anthology.
