Great collection of stories! All very different from each other. Recommend for an interesting exploration of Sci fi.

Great collection of distinct stories

A great mix and for me an introduction to some authors to explore further. Particularly enjoyed N.K. Jemisin’s work and all the narrators.

Just Right

I struggled to finish listening, very dark. Recommended for horror fans as it is not as upbeat as i expected. Only bought it because of Andy Weir.

Very Dark Stories.

Great stories
