I won this book on goodreads. Here are some thoughts on each short story:
As for the book itself, the formatting could have used more editing. But it was free so whatevs.
* maybe I'm just not into this type of sci-fi, I don't know how I'm going to write a proper review on Goodreads.
- "Rocketships of Brass" by Chris Raven. I guess it was okay, but it seemed kind of abrupt. I think he's planning on making it into a novel or something. It seemed like some short sci-fi stories that were in this anthology from the 90's that I read once. Whatever at that sentence.
- Various stories by AL Butcher: "House of Treasure" and "The Secret Kitchen" reminded me of Hans Christian Anderson fairy tales. Her poems are okay, I dunno.
- "The App" by Adam Bigden. I was going to say this was my favourite, but I'm not sure now.
- "Sparks" by Donny Swords. I didn't retain anything I read*. Of course this dude has the biggest bio of the writers.
- "Dino's Papers" by Alan Hardy. Maybe this one is my favourite. It's quite funny.
- "A Hard Days Night" by Ray Foster. I also liked this one a bit, good twist.
