Very diverse, intense short story collection submitted by lexinylander on August 12, 2018, 7:38pm I really enjoyed these short stories. They were intense and a little dicey but so different in tone and topic both. My favorites were "You Can Find Love Now" and "The Animal Mummies Wish to Thank the Following."
Half and Half submitted by dntanzer on August 31, 2018, 3:19pm I loved about half of these stories - they did an excellent job of mixing fantasy elements into real stories. The others I found a bit boring. I'd recommend this to people who like short stories or magical elements, but probably not to a wider audience.
