ksmarsden's review against another edition
4.0
A collection of short stories from the Awethors. These range from romance, to horror; fantasy to thriller.
This is partnered with Awethology Light - with this volume being suitable for over 18's (i.e. language, sex & violence). That being said, most of the stories in this volume are very mild, with only one or two that might be considered "dark". So it's fairly safe for all to read.
The short stories vary in length, from a few hundred words to about ten thousand for the longest pieces. I found it quite pleasant to read it during my dinner break, knowing that I could usually finish one piece in an hour.
If your mind works like mine (you poor sod), I'd recommend reading it in instalments, rather than attacking it all at once. As the stories have no common themes or links, I found it easier to digest them individually.
I think there's something to appeal to every reader in this collection, and of course there will be stories that appeal to you more than others, it's all to do with personal preference.
My top 5 were (in published order):
Down With Awethors - Joe Compton (note: may go over the heads of anyone not familiar with Awethors publications)
The Lost Shepherd - LE Fitzpatrick
April Showers - Elizabeth Horton-Newton
One Night Stand - L.A. Remenicky
Winter Palace - Travis West
So, go check out this collection (and the Awethology Light), as both volumes are permanently free.
