I have an unrepentant love of dystopian stories. I think it's an amazing vehicle to delve into men's psyche, especially when you look at the societies created. I also don't believe in utopia (someone's utopia is always someone else's dystopia).This anthology is a great collection of different dyst...
Adam-Troy Castro finishes the "Sinister Six" trilogy with a tremendous bang! Plenty of superhero vs. supervillian action, great writing, some quite humorous quips from both the narrator and the wall-crawler, and not much in the way of offensive content! If you love reading about super-dudes like I ...
I'm a big fan of Stan Lee's wall-crawler; his second cinematic outing is even my favorite movie of all-time. You'd probably expect that I'd like Adam-Troy Castro's first entry in the "Sinister Six" trilogy...and I did. It had great action sequences, a wonderful storyline, and a fun writing style. ...
3.5 starsA very good compilation of stories exploring the them of dystopias. One warning - find some light/fluffy/happy books to read in between chunks of this book, it is just too depressing to read one after the other with no relief. Some classics, like "The Lottery" and "Minority Report", and pl...

Superhero tales are my thing, so, of course I'd like this. Two things make this even better: adding time travel, another fun concept, to the story, and the fact that this story is about Spider-Man AND the X-Men. If you like superheroes, this is definitely for you. Just remember one thing: This is...
I will admit to skimming and skipping over a couple of the stories here. Overall I liked a lot of them (I'd originally gotten it just to read Reluctance from Cherie Priest).The first 2 stories were wholly depressing (and in zombie anthologies, that is usually the case). There were a couple of storie...
I'm going to call this one a picture book for adults.I had several good laughs over this one. It has some very cool artwork in it (I loved Nosferatu with the iPod).If I had a coffee table (and if we weren't trying to get the youngest kiddo to stop biting people) then I would have it out; I could see...
This was a very strong anthology of dystopian stories. There are a lot of well known authors, often multiple Hugo or Nebula award winners. There were a lot of stories I really liked and I can't think of any that struck me as particularly weak or mediocre. I particularly liked the final story, Civili...
Ordinarily, this book would have gotten only two stars because of the ratio of stories that made me glad I'd bought the book to stories I hated or stories which I won't remember in a week.The first story in the book, Dan Simmons's This Year's Class Picture set the bar high. It's got your basic McGu...
