I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As it often the case with collections and anthologies, not all stories will have the same level of quality and polish nor will appeal equally to the readers. It’s not different with this one except the number of stories I disliked was exactly ZERO. I liked some less than I enjoyed others but that was about it.
Being a writer of mainly short-stories myself, I was looking forward to reading this book and wasn’t disappointed. For an outsider, it may seem easier to write a short-story than a novel. Let me tell you – it might – emphasis on ‘might’ – be quicker but it’s not at all easier. After all, it takes talent to pack action, plot, and character development into a couple of dozen pages as opposed to three hundred. One needs to keep the reader focused, keep the flow of the story going, and keep the characters interesting. All in the space of a (relatively) few pages. But the authors in this anthology are quite talented so they deliver well-developed characters and plots to my absolute delight, which doesn’t come as a surprise because the authors won the publisher’s contests for each of the four themes that constitute the four different themes in this collection.
I’m glad this is just the first volume because I’m looking forward to the next ones. Who knows maybe with different themes? I’m just saying… LOL

This book is an anthology – a published collection pieces of writing – made up of winners who participated in Rambunctious Ramblings Publishing Inc.’s annual writing contests. The pages put together here are a compilation of twenty stories set within four genres.

The best thing about books like this is that they present many different ideas, writing styles, and authors in the same binding. Some people live lives not capable of reading a long book without breaks, which can lead to discouragement and eventually losing interest in trying. For those who love to read but perhaps don’t have a lot of time, the short stories allow for start to finish reading not requiring too much time. Secondary to the enjoyment of this reading, this is a great opportunity to get a snippet of the capability and skills of the authors becoming associated with Rambunctious Rambling Publishing Inc.
This is an intriguing collection of short stories from four different categories—a wonderful mix of genres and styles. I enjoyed every story—and many of them left me wanting to read more about the characters and the worlds they are set in, so I’ll be checking out several of the authors to see what else they have available.

I love short stories because they are easy to read right before bed without investing the time a novel takes, but I have to admit that I ended up not reading just one story a night. The stories were so good that I didn’t want to stop reading!

It’s very hard to pick a favorite because the stories are all so different—and I could easily see many of them being my “favorite” depending on the mood I was in and what I was wanting to read. That said, some of my favorites are below.

“Heroes” by Ranger Reid. I would love to find out the circus freaks and where they all are now.

“Wake” by Anthony Morgan-Clark. This reads so much like a Twilight Zone show… gave me the shivers and I hope I never have to have surgery.

“Wrong Turns” by John Lanmaack. What a wonderful twist on a time travel story… love and redemption.

I’m looking forward to the next installment of short stories!

originally posted at long and short reviews
I’m a fan of short stories and anthologies so I was excited to read this collection.

I’ll give you a few samples.

The first story, The Era of Super Weapons, was fun and packed with action. The super weapons were humans with extra powers, some an interesting combination of animal and human.

One such weapon, while on a mission, bumps into other super weapons, and that saying “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” couldn’t be more true when they come up against a deadly foe.

This was fun. My imagination took over, and I visualized how these super weapons would look. Action is fast and furious, and the ending invites you to want more. I’d continue with these characters if another story became available.

Next up was Heroes. A young man, comic book heroes, and an old man. What if the comic book legends were real? The writing was strong, and while the ending left me hanging, it did make me think, what if.

All Things Change was a strange little story about a girl living in a bubble. She’s locked in her house, surrounded by plastic, and it’s been days since her parents visited her. With no clue what’s happening outside, she invites a stranger in.

I would have loved to get more of this one. I knew something dramatic was occurring but was kept as isolated as the girl in her bubble. The ending left me scratching my head.

There’s a blend of several genres. Lots of different scenarios. And some fun characters too.

While I can’t say I loved all of these stories, I did enjoy their individuality and finished the collection wondering about several of them, and I’d read other stories by these authors.

You may not like all of these, but I’m sure there are some gems you’ll enjoy. From little nibbles to bigger bites, and four categories, there’s something for everyone.

I received this book for my honest review.
A wonderful compilation of stories as varied as the prompts.
Great stories from talented writers.
