When I get an anthology, I get it to check out work from a lot  of different people at once. Therefore, as long as the vast majority of  them aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actively bad, I usually feel like it was a good anthology.  Well, there wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a single bad story in this, so mission accomplished.  Lots of familiar names in this (Cole Johnson, Zack Soto, Dan Zettwoch,  Jesse Reklaw, Thien Pham, HOB, Damien Jay, Gabrielle Bell) and some  unfamiliar names (Howard John Arey, Ellen Lindner, Andrice Arp), which  is always a good thing. More than a few of those people are getting  e-mails from me to see if they want to be in the distro, in case you  were wondering. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no theme here, which is also a good thing, and  stories include a young girl reluctantly spending time with her father, a  man trying to find a working bathroom, a cute pug, getting sucked into  the television, dating literal monsters, a stranded pirate rhymer, giant  babies taking over the world, and how horrible it is to quit smoking.  Great stuff in here all around and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only $11.95, well worth a look.
