My Review

I don't like sci fi though i love anthology. This book has a good collection of stories with romance, revenge and murders. All stories have a sci fi background. Usually, we see a lot of imagination in scifi stories but this book has a combination of emotional stories. 

I should really appreciate the editor for selecting good stories and sequencing them well. 

Though I couldn't relate to one or 2 stories, most of them made sense and they are interesting. The cover of the book and the title are very apt. I felt that most of the stories are a bit lengthy. This is my first sci-fi book and i really enjoyed reading it.

I personally liked the story 'fractured'.

I would recommend this to scifi lovers who want to try something different.

PS: I have received this book from the author and this is my honest opinion on the book.

My Rating: 3.5/5


About the Editor


Russ Colchamiro is the author of the rollicking space adventure, Crossline, the hilarious sci-fi backpacking comedy series, Finders Keepers, Genius de Milo, and Astropalooza, and is editor of the new anthology, Love, Murder & Mayhem, all with Crazy 8 Press.

Russ lives in New Jersey with his wife, two children, and crazy dog, Simon, who may in fact be an alien himself. Russ has also contributed to several other anthologies, including Tales of the Crimson Keep, Pangaea, and Altered States of the Union, and TV Gods 2. He is now at work on a top-secret project, and a Finders Keepers spin-off.

As a matter of full disclosure, readers should not be surprised if Russ spontaneously teleports in a blast of white light followed by screaming fluorescent color and the feeling of being sucked through a tornado. It’s just how he gets around — windier than the bus, for sure, but much quicker.
