4.0
This is a well curated anthology of time travel stories. My most liked were The Wind over the World by Steven Utley, The Truth about Weena by David J. Lake, Needle in a Timestack by Robert Silverberg, Dear Tomorrow by Simon Clark, Time Gypsy by Ellen Klages, The Catch by Kage Baker and Red Letter Day by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
At least two of the stories, The Wind over the World and The Catch have spurred me to continue reading more from these authors.
Red Letter Day is, in my opinion, the best story in the anthology. There is a lot to unpack in this story including religious vs. secular education, guns in schools, the role of school counselors and the choices we make as we grow older and how they affect our lives. A lovely, brilliant short story.
