The Dystopian States of AMERICA: A Charity Anthology Benefiting the ACLU Foundation by Matt Bechtel
cj_jones's review
3.0
A collection of It Couldn't Happen Here short stories that funds the ACLU. How could I resist?
My enjoyment of the stories varied wildly, which is why it gets three stars. I quickly found that the cartoony slapstick pastiches were the least welcome, and I started skipping over stories that used the word Orange on the first page. But there is treasure in this sunken ship, enough to make amends.
