The wonderful people of Black Hare Press were awesome enough to send me a copy of their phenomenal collection of short, all things Punk stories, 'Punk: Cyber / Bio / Diesel / Steam Punk Tiny Tales', for review and I couldn't be happier with the beautiful worlds I was exposed to.

Dear reader you are more than welcome to lose yourself into this collection brought together from the works of 27 super talented authors and ranging from short to mini to bite-sized stories at a total of 57 covering biopunk, steampunk, dieselpunk and cyberpunk.

Experience advanced technologies blending perfectly with Victorian aesthetic, dreamlike hallucinogenic machines, mind-expanding creations, vampyric dystopias, steampunk inventors and fairies, characters living in the future yet lost in time and characters living in the past yet so advanced and ahead of their time.

A truly beautiful book from the amazing cover to the delicious content, encapsuling the ethos and lecacy of great ones such as Jules Verne, Kim Newman, H. G Wells, Michael Moorcock, Rudy Rucker, Isaac Asimov, Neal Shusterman, Philip K. Dick, Philip Reeve, Masamune Shirow.

At times dark and twisted but throughout intelligent, inventive and made from the staff that you keep reading until your eyes melt and have to replace them with symbio-bionic ones.

All authors do a fantastic job with each story exploring a variety of themes all having as main ingredients great storyline and lots of memorable scenes no matter the length of the story.
