I like these collections from Shawn because, 1) they benefit a good cause as they work as a way to fund their Unfettered counterparts. 2)They are filled with stories by authors I actually recognize the names of and some that are new to me. and 3) The stories are for the most part really good. I find a lot of collections to be very hit and miss, so to have a book where almost all the stories are around 30 pages, and all the stories are enjoyable is a rarity to be enjoyed.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This collection has some great and a number of good stories. There are some that read as if they are fragments from a longer work - hopefully they are or will serve as such for the authors.

I only read Jury Duty from this, but it was a great story, loved seeing Harry deal with this mundane situation!

This is another short story by Michael which he published separately as part of one of his Kickstarter campaigns.

It’s about Troth, a previously minor Non-Player Character (NPC), who “lives” in a Massively Multi-player Role Playing Game (MMORPG) and suddenly develops sentience.

The premise is interesting and the story well-told (how could it not be, it’s a Sullivan!). It’s just that it’s a bit... short. Given that this is a short story, well, I guess I’ll let it slide... ;-)

Recommended to anyone with 30 minutes to spare.
