If you’ve only ever exposed to mainstream superheroes and supervillains, or this is your first foray into fantasy cape-wearers, you’re bound to love these authors’ takes on the genre—adventure, horror, and wonder fiction in five hundred words.
Meet Vortex, the villain—she rips people apart with her bare hands but is always the loving partner. Or Whitefire who melts all that surrounds with a ball of white-hot fire. And Charlie, the unlikely hero with crimson eyes, creating napalm skies.

If you're looking for stock standard super heroes and super villains, this probably isn't the book for you. However, if you are open to something a little different, then this raggle-taggle bunch of misfits might beguile you.
Full disclosure - I wrote one of the stories. But that's not the reason I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology of well-told 500 word tales.
These stories were pretty forgettable, especially being that I forgot I even read this book , and I don't remember anything standing out at me!. But Superhero fiction is hard to do well. It's also not easy to make an epic story in about five hundred words.
