A review by katmullen
L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 39 by L. Ron Hubbard

adventurous mysterious

3.5

Two things about short story collections:
1. You get so invested in some stories and they just…end. I just got attached to those characters, I need more!
2. It’s hard to give a star rating because you like some stories more than others

This was my first time reading a Writers of the Future anthology and I was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea what to expect and was glad when I vibed with stories. Kitsune: “I was almost thirty and tired” - MOOD.

The anthology came spiriting out of the gate with my favourite stories being Kitsune and Moonlight and Funk. I enjoyed others, but those two resonated with me the most.

I loved the illustrations throughout, every piece was amazing!

The concept of the Writers of the Future competition is great and I love that there was a section in the end about the competition and community (bonus points for refusing the use of AI to create the content!)

Thank you Galaxy Press for the copy and opportunity to review!
