Crack the Darkest Sky Wide Open by Abigail Roux, TJ Klune, Eric Arvin, S.J.D. Peterson, Jason Huffman-Black, S.A. McAuley

3.0

All authors are obviously skilled, the general writing style is very good, but the supposed darkness isn't reached for all stories. in my humble opinion. A pair of tales are sad and tear-jerked but I wouldn't describe them as dark

The Demon of Jericho by [a:Eric Arvin|414286|Eric Arvin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1258328920p2/414286.jpg]- 2 stars
A dark fantasy with which I was unable to connect.

A Cruel Thing by [a:Abigail Roux|1122775|Abigail Roux|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1352338424p2/1122775.jpg] - 3 stars
One of the above-mentioned sad stories. a classic tale about love and heroism during World War II. I cried my eyes out.

The most powerful story. Implacable, far from any complacent cliché. No Redemption Here.

Uh? A metaphorical visión of the End? of one end? I don't know, but it didn't work for me.

This left me indifferent. Additionally I think that's the most alien story regarding the general theme.

The second sad story. It was a little more than okay; maybe a little bit stagy and a little too sentimental for my tastes.
