Anthology. As I was reading this book there seemed to be a theme of rollerskating lesbians but then I found out there were some other stories interspersed. I wonder if that was initially what the publisher were going for but then needed extra stories to fill it out. The average rating is 3.33 stars....
First released this past November, Apex Magazine Issue 54 features stories from Bogi Takács, Vajra Chandrasekera, Keffy R.M. Kehrli, and Jim C. Hines; nonfiction pieces from Michael Damian Thomas and Lynne M. Thomas; an interview with Jim C. Hines; poetry from Alexandra Seidel and Rose Lemberg; and ...
For me, the best kind of anthology is a genre-specific one. I like the novelty of ideas, the variety of subjects, and the unknown factor of what's coming next. While I do enjoy themed anthologies, I find that the subject tends to wear a bit thin by the end, and I'm always left second-guessing myself...
This was produced via kickstarter apparently. I didn't know that until I happened across a review, I think it was Tor.com I initially read about it.

If a cringe could be personified, it would come in the form of Kyle Murchison Booth. He's tall, awkward, pale, and stammering. He's also the absolute last person anyone would expect to become a paranormal investigator, and yet.... When his old school-mate and object of worship, Augustus Blaine, wa...
Fantastic anthology that collects an assortment of glittery tales for fans of the weird and wonderful. Highly recommended reading.Full review to come.
