Best book of drabbles I've read so far.
A drabble is a short-story of exactly 100 words. What author's such as K.T. Tate, Mark Anthony Smith, Michelle River and Ximena Escobar accomplish with such restrictions are terrifyingly impressive. From tales of Baba Yaga, Thor, HP Lovecraft inspired madness and Poseidon, this collection boasts an incredible range and depth of story.
Highly recommended.

Drabble collections are a great way to squeeze a little reading into your day. I love the ease of reading 100-word stories and there are some spectacular ones in this collection.
A nice variety of creepy stories that include Norse mythology, conjuring, kelpies, Greek mythology, sacrifices, and Lovecraftian themes, just to name a few. This is a great mix with a very interesting theme.
Some of my favorites were Noa Covo's "Of Love, Of Ichor", "Bones", and "Icarus and the Minotaur". I really enjoyed her writing style. I also especially enjoyed Jess Rhodes "Metastatic", [a:Galina Trefil|13260948|Galina Trefil|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1426976437p2/13260948.jpg]'s "Not To Be Underestimated", [a:Kimberly Rei|18062073|Kimberly Rei|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "The Wrong Neighborhood", [a:Kathleen Halecki|15561229|Kathleen Halecki|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "The Final Journey", [a:Chris Hewitt|6888072|Chris Hewitt|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "Sins of the Father", and [a:Tor-Anders Ulven|19891248|Tor-Anders Ulven|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s "Draugr".

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I thought the concept of this collection was really interesting, as I'd never heard of a collection of drabbles (100 word stories) before. It may not be the best format for me as there were so many of these that I was sucked into and left wanting more. For me I'm not sure if I can be satisfied with only 100 words. Still it was a great way to get acquainted with a number of different authors and their writing styles.
There were so many of these that were written beautiful and had a great punchline, but there were also some that just didn't do it for me, which is something you can see with any collection. Still, I did enjoy the stories but I'm not sure if drabbles are something I'm going to read a lot in the future as I feel like I will always want more in some way.
