Flash of Aphelion

by Daniel Hollifield, Mark Edgemon, Larissa March

More than 70 very short stories in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror! Why are 18 million spoons disappearing from Melbourne, Australia each year? How good is the magic of a discount wizard? What if superheroes were afraid to use their powers? These and other flash fiction challenges were put to the writers in the forum at Aphelion Webzine, one of the internet’s oldest and finest sources for fiction. The 17 authors in this book responded to those challenges with amazing tales that will thrill, entertain, horrify, and may even move you to tears.

Dramatic

There are many short stories under diverse themes. Some of the stories were fantastic, some I totally didn't understand (only a few), some good. Really enjoyed reading this.

A nice selection of stories written to certain themes. It's interesting to see how the various authors come up with such different stories when starting with the same constraints.
