adventurous challenging reflective fast-paced

4.0

an eclectic collection of short stories centering around the theme of... recognizing fascism (surprise, surprise).

i don't expect short story anthologies to hit the mark with every story, and this collection was no exception. though i did not connect with every story in this collection, overall i enjoyed my time with this book. the range of genres and levels of realism ensure that there is at least one story for most readers.

special shoutout to "chicken time" for providing me the absurdist fowl dystopia of my nightmares.

thank you to netgalley and world weaver press for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
