There's a really cool online fantasy convention that started due to COVID. They have a short story contest each year, and this anthology is a collection of the first three places from both years.
I am not usually a big fan of anthologies, but I know some of the authors in here, so I bought it anyway.
I quite enjoyed this anthology, that covers fantasy to science fiction as well as different tones and styles. As with any short story collection there's some that worked better for me than others, but overall they were all more than worth the read!
If you're looking for small bites to test out different new authors, this is well worth a look!

A superb anthology of dark, brooding, fast-paced, tension filled, and in one instance, uplifting fantasy stories, pulled from a crop of fantastic indie fantasy writers.
This anthology is small enough for reading on the go or in-between meetings/appointments, but each short story's every word counts in pulling the reader deeply into each tale, and progressing the tightly woven narratives.
Highly recommended.
