This book did wonderful things to me! It is rare to come across a anthology where you love every single short story enclosed in it, but this one was a delightful surprise where I loved all the narratives and characters. No two stories where the same in this anthology and time and place moved with each new world that was created by the authors. Each of these stories is highly imaginitive and goes from our world and our time to the future and completely different spaces and each one was clear and This book did wonderful things to me!

No two stories where the same in this anthology and time and place moved with each new world that was created by the authors. Each of these stories is highly imaginitive and goes from our world and our time to the future and completely different spaces and each one was clear and enthralling.

My favourite short stories where Remember by Astrid Amara. I always know with Amara's writing I will love the world she creates, and the two stories by her in this anthology : Remembered and Lord Ronan's shoes were incredible. Remembered explored Alex a victorian gentleman who was dreading his wedding to a woman in four months and therefore seeks to remember the pleasure of being with a man every night. However each night he forgets the man until he meets him again sounds confusing I know but its amazing.
Lord Ronan's shoes is equally charming and loving, and had me squealing at the adorableness all the way through. Amara explores a man who cannot be himself until a pair of shoes releases his inner gooey centre.

Erin Mackay s a new author to me and has intrigued my interest with her contribution "crossing the distance," which I adored. This novella tucked at the back of this book is about two white children who have been searching for one another since they were young. Ave and Trent are used in the army as a quick communication devise. this novella is heartbreaking and beautiful cannot wait to read some more of her work.

And of course Ginn Hale's Feral Machine was incredible as well and left me aching for more. Anyone who keeps up with my reviews will know how much I adore Hale's work and I was not disappointed. this novella also tucked in the back of this book looked at a future world and a boy who is alone to try and keep this world alive while the authorities subtle-y try to make him leave. He is alone until an old Robot he has purchased is obliged to help him.

Overall an incredible novel which I adored and recommend it to anyone who enjoys Blind Eye Book's work. This is again a great asset to their collection and I would definitely read it again. ...more

3.5 stars thanks to a few real gems. This one definitely suffers the typical anthology curse, where some of them hit and some of them really miss. For me, the hits were Jesse Sandoval's beautiful piece of magical realism, "Los Conversos," Tenea D. Johnson's I-wish-it-were-longer portrait of an unusually talented musician in "Release in A Minor," and Ginn Hale's lush cyborg novella "Feral Machines."

Some of the others that people on GR are fond of failed for me because of the "scheming female vill ...more
