As a collection of short stories I found this to be a nice and fun read. Writing fantasy is hard on its own, and writing fantasy short fiction is a whole other level but I found a number of these stories hitting chords that drew me in and made me want to stay in them. These writers are talented and funny and I’ve definitely added them into my list of writers to keep an eye out for!
For my personal recommendation, my top three favourite short stories from this collection are:
“Undoing Vampirism” by Lilah Sturgess
“Dreamborn” by Kylie Ariel Bemis
“Perisher” by Crystal Frasier
There was something incredibly special about these three that just fully captivated and made me think about what it is these stories are trying to say or tell. I don’t know. I just really fell in love with them and I know I’ll be rereading them again.
