This is a nice collection of stories from writers with many different styles. Most deal with the ups and downs of the human condition. They are very insightful stories that convey deep emotions. As someone who leans toward fiction I would have liked to have seen a few lighthearted fiction tales. But these stories are well written and interesting.

I enjoyed the stories very much.  I am giving some for Christmas gifts.  I mostly enjoyed the ones about forgiving yourself.

I liked reading all of these mini stories, and getting more back-story on characters that I'm following in other stories.  Great collection.

Very good collection of short stories, by a variety of authors.  Some stories are stronger than others.

I enjoyed all the stories.  I like the shorter stories as I can read one at a time.  The stories were entertaining.

Some of the stories are better than others but all in all worth reading time. Personally I liked more about 4 or 5 but all off them are interesting.

This collection is pretty good. Personally I wasn't on the edge of my seat or trembling in fear. Nevertheless I thought the stories provided pretty good entertainment. Not a bad read.

I really enjoyed these stories. One reviewer compared the stories to the TV show, The Outer Limits, and fans of that show or the Twilight Zone would certainly enjoy these stories. Many of the stories reminded me of the Fractures Fairy Tale cartoons of yore or Once Upon a Time on TV today. Here you will find stories of Superman as an old man, or the last surviving elf, mixed in with stories of angels, devils, astronauts, scientists, and aliens. the editor did a great job of selecting great writers and putting together a nice mix of stories to keep the reader entertained.

This is nice and short, some stories are only a few pages and some longer which is nice.  I will be purchasing the next volume

Its a good collection of stories. Some are funny, some are sad, but they aren't far from real stories today.

The first four stories are written about four brothers who find their wife during the time of beginnings for our country. The next three stories are written about the Quaker people and their quest for peace during a time of war. The last two stories are not connected, except for the theme of romance during our country's early history. Each story has romance, faith, and drama. Some of the stories have already been printed before, but the collection was nicely put together.

I think my favorite stories were the ones about the brothers. The authors, while different, wrote the stories so seamlessly. They fit well together. I also really enjoyed the last story. It was about romance later in life. This was a huge book to work through, so it took me some time to read it. But I enjoyed it and found some new authors to check out.

I received this book free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

The only problem I have with this is that it IS short stories, which are not my favorite.  The stories are pretty good, if you do like that kind of thing.

A nice collection of stories to reading bursts. A story or two needs better proof read but good stories. Hope you enjoy.

Some of the stories were good and some of the stories were not so good. It is still worth checking out!
