The 2017 ImmerseOrDie Anthology. Each year we hand-pick 50 of today's top indie authors and ask them to submit a story. Then we ask a team of ruthless judges to scour that ore and pick out the gems. The result is All These Shiny Worlds II:a world of today where cosplay and stagecraft are bright lights hiding dark shadowsa world of tomorrow, where kitchen appliances fend for themselves and take solace in each other's arms, refugees from indifferent ownersa world of little cogs in big machines, where the humble trash collector is the unsung hero of getting evil donea world of small magics and big hearts, where a little chaos can go a long, long wayFrom the brutal curators at ImmerseOrDie.com comes another collection of indie short stories, each a distinct jewel forged in the fires of judgment, and all continuing to carry our one simple promise:Guaranteed not to suck.
