Extremely readable anthology published by Hadley Rille Books and comprised of stories that appeared in the magazine Abyss and Apex. The book has an excellent mix of stories and poems, well balanced in terms of mood and lengths. All stories are speculative in nature, many with a small to large dash of hope mixed in with the angst. Standout stories for me were: "Interfaith" by Lisa Mantchev, "Stories of the Alien Invasion" by Manke Mistry, "Fading Away" by Jay Lake, "God's Guitar" by Justin Stanch...
This was a very good collection of short stories and poetry. There were a couple of pieces that I really hope the authors might expand to novel length and the last piece cracked me up repeatedly.
