"Virtue," the latest anthology from Crazy Ink, is a literary exploration that ventures beyond the well-known seven deadly sins, delving into the often overlooked and profound world of seven virtues that define our humanity. Crafted by seven talented authors, this zany multi-genre mash-up offers a refreshing perspective on what makes us inherently good.
Each virtue—Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Prudence, and Temperance—is expertly dissected and presented through the unique lenses of diverse genres, providing readers with a kaleidoscopic view of the human experience. The anthology not only showcases the creativity of the individual authors but also weaves a collective narrative that aims to restore faith in the innate goodness that resides within us all.
The anthology kicks off with Faith, exploring the belief in the right things. Subsequent stories navigate the realms of Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Prudence, and Temperance, each author contributing their distinct voice and storytelling prowess to breathe life into these virtues. The result is a tapestry of tales that entertain, provoke thought, and ultimately celebrate the positive aspects of the human condition.
The strength of "Virtue" lies in its ability to traverse various genres, offering readers a dynamic and unpredictable journey. From heartwarming tales of charity to suspenseful narratives embodying justice, the anthology delivers a well-rounded reading experience that caters to diverse literary tastes.
As the stories unfold, a common thread emerges—the underlying theme of goodness prevailing in the face of challenges. The anthology serves as a reminder that, amidst the chaos of life, these virtues act as beacons, guiding us toward a more compassionate and principled existence.
"Virtue" is more than just an anthology; it's a testament to the power of storytelling to illuminate the positive aspects of humanity. It encourages readers to reflect on their virtues and perhaps discover new layers of goodness within themselves. Crazy Ink's collection of tales is a delightful and thought-provoking exploration of the virtues that define us and, in doing so, invites us to embrace the brighter side of the human spirit.

this book had some short stories from different authors. the first one dealt with something that hit close to home for me. it was really kinda sad what happened. the next dealt with angels devil and humans and of course sex, third one is about a robbery gone wrong. now she is left to pick up the pieces and seek her revenge. fourth is about having faith . its a strange one for sure. fifth one is about a young woman who is always taught to save money not to spend . next is about a woman who takes care of hurt animals. its actually kind of a love story. last one is about a grandma who is not as she seems.

This anthology is an amazing collection of stories. Some show characters who take the different virtues to an extreme, in a dangerous way. Some, like the one about Faith, shows what can happen when you have absolute faith. That family depended on the faith of the father to provide for them. I really enjoyed reading this group of stories by such talented authors!
