A fun collection of (mostly) light, humorous little pieces, mostly stories, but also a few poems. Some resonated more than others, as is to be expected with any collection containing 48 different authors.
Some of my favorites: Loretta Iwaniw-Horne's "An Online Job Application, Narrated by On-Screen Prompts," which contains the following: "We're obligated to state that we care about your privacy. We don't really. Please check this box to acknowledge that you don't care about your privacy, either." I also enjoyed Jimmy Hopper's "Three Divine Sauces," Steven Davis's "Campaign Speech," Ana Reisen's "Grandma tells me about her bunions: Five Poems," and Martha Hipley's "My Little Monster." All different and all funny in their own way.
In the interest of transparency, Witcraft published a story of mine online (earlier this year, so after this collection came out), but I was a reader before I decided to submit. The editor, Doug Jacquier, publishes a new piece every day. If you like short, humorous reads, I recommend subscribing.

Great little collection of fun stories, though there will always be stories you click with more than others in all collections. Enjoyable read

Better than reading Reader's Digest when I was a kid, this book kept me laughing story after story. Some of them were plays on words. For example, John E. B. Good went to the doctor (Dr. Charles Berry), who asked, "How's it shakin' today, sir?"
John replies, "Not so good, I have a persistent cough, trouble breathing, and my temperature's risin'.'"
Authors are from all over the world, and the topics are varied but all funny. Nothing is out of line, just genuinely laughable. They're funny enough to read again and enjoy the nuances. Great job!
