Superheroes by Peter S. Beagle, Kelly Link
4.0
These stories aren't about superheroes. Not really. They're about living on the edge of the superhero world. About being collateral damage. About family. About living with chaos. About being crazy. And, yes, about superheroes.
I really enjoyed this group of stories. Many had interesting twists. Sunlight Society was original and interesting. Secret Identity had a cool play on words.
Superhero Girl was short, yet amazing.
Super. Family. was a sweet story about - what else? - family.
Serendipity! Oddly enough, this anthology was picked to read for the (book club) during the same month as the novel [b:Empire State|10795257|Empire State (Empire State, #1)|Adam Christopher|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1312876745s/10795257.jpg|15707870] - and one of the short stories (The Biggest) actually takes place in the world of the Empire State.
