Yet another entertaining collection of short stories from Fox Spirit Books. About half the stories had a modern/contemporary setting, with the remainder have more imagined sci-fi and fantasy settings. I will profess my personal bias toward the latter up-front and admit that this influenced my preference in the stories, but thin no way diminishes the contributions of all the authors. That said, here were my favorites:
PHASED by Colin Sinclair: a gorgeous story with beautiful writing. You don't even need to know what it's about, just read it!
GATEWAY by Jonathan Ward: aliens guard an inter-dimensional portal for years upon years upon years to keep something dark and terrible out. Humans come along and ruin it all. Of course. That seems to be our lot in the universe.
RE-SEMBLANCE by Emma Teichman: a twist on the whole future and cloning idea with (apparently) the entire reproductive program given over to cloning. A sad, touching story.
WARDEN OF VALDR by Rahne Sinclair: a young girl named Jora finds a protector and father figure in a silent, old stone guardian named Halladr
LOST BONDS by Marret Helgadottir: it has a fox guardian, 'nuff said.
WRECKED by Den Patrick: 'wrekc golems' made from the remnants of ships--love it

A mixed bag of a collection. Some weren't so great, mostly because they weren't written very well, and one was just genuinely terrible (Swung) but I enjoyed the first and several of the later stories! My favourite two stories were Gateway and Re-Semblance! Overall, I think by the end the good outweighed the bad!
