I was actually rather blown away when I got this book. This thing is huge! I received it as a gift and it was far better than I expected. Full transparency, I've worked with Bards and Sages before. The editor-in-chief has a lot of sense about book formatting. I love how her stuff looks, very professional and clean. She also does a great job curating great content and getting it edited tight for release. This huge volume is something I would keep on my coffee table--well, if I had a coffee table, or that sort of open space. Future goals. There are around 35 stories in the volume, each over 5000 words. This is easily one of the best values you're going to find for SSF shorts. Seriously.
