As is usual with an anthology, this was a mixed bag, but on the whole one of the stronger collections of themed stories I've read. The stories were, indeed, engaging and funny, light but intriguing in many cases. A few were a little *too* light for me, but then some were rather brilliant. If you like your specfic with a dash of humour, you'll probably enjoy this anthology. ( ) Foreword - Alex Shvartsman .... On the Efficacy of Supervillain Battles in Eliciting Therapeutic Breakthroughs - Jim C. Hines Pretty cool and strange. A short story that worked well on it's own. About a girl standing on her own The Right Answer - James A. Miller Yes what is the right answer when an alien shows up? Nice short one. The Gefilte Fish Girl - Mike Resnick A man tells his mum about the mermaid he loves. Funny. Master of Business Apocalypse - Jakob Drud Magicians prevents the apocalypse, time after time. A bad boss can ruin it all ;) Carla at the Off-Planet Tax Return Helpline - Caroline M. Yoachim The title says it all. It was really funny! Why I Bought Satan Two Cokes on the Day I Graduated High School - Nathaniel Lee Angels everywhere, poor Satan gets his ass kicked and a kid befriends him. Nice. Company Store - Robert Silverberg Not for me. The Door-to-Door Salesthing from Planet X - Josh Vogt Poor salesman :/ Picture Perfect - Matt Mikalatos I honestly can't remember what it was about The Discounted Seniors - James Beamon Some are not grateful and this guy finds out. That Must Be Them Now - Karen Haber I only remember it was not for me Notes to My Past And/or Alternate Selves - Sarah Pinsker You would not think a list would be funny but it was so amusing :) The Real and the Really Real - Tim Pratt A human left alone in a world of robots. Ohh I liked the twist in this one. Into the Woods, with Zombunny - Camille Griep A fairytale! Ha, I enjoyed this one a lot. I am not gonna say which fairytale. Live at the Scene - Gini Koch' Newsteam reporting about aliens. Funny :) The Newsboy’s Last Stand - Krystal Claxton I liked this one about a newsboy telling bad news, and then throwing in god ones. The Full Lazenby - Jeremy Butler Weird story about ..well just read it ;) Do Not Remove This Tag - Piers Anthony A sort of jinnni turns up and wants to live large. Super-Baby-Moms Group Saves the Day! - Tina Connolly All in emailform and it worked great. Amusing. The Choochoomorphosis - Oliver Buckram Lol. Weird very short story. The Fate Worse than Death - Kevin J. Anderson and Guy Anthony De Marco Dracula gets a guest, an annoying one. Nice Elections at Villa Encantada - Cat Rambo About something. Did not keep my attention Infinite Drive - Jody Lynn Nye Investigators investigate. Eh Like with all anthologies, some stories were good, some ok, some not to my taste. But almost all were funny (except those that were meh then.) And a nice mix too of sci-fi, fantasy, fairy-tale and all the rest and weird. The kind of book that you could read before bed, one story a day :) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
