An excellent anthology from a group of talented writers. I highly recommend this for fans of horror fiction with a literary flavor. Because of this collection I've been tempted to seek out other work by many of the authors. I haven't been disappointed yet!
If you have a taste for science fiction, Phantasma is for you. If you’re like me and sci-fi isn’t really your cup of tea, Phantasma will pleasantly surprise you with its breadth and depth. This new anthology has something for everyone. This collection is refreshing in that the majority of its authors and a large number of its characters are female. It features several short stories and one poem that stretch from the Irish Civil War into the future, and its scope of subjects – psychic ability, me...
"Pro Patria Mori" & "Pitch" are great stories, not entirely in the sci-fi realm. Akiko is definitely the standout though: a beautifully melancholy story tied to Japanese folklore.The rest... meh.
Thought ProvokingA collection of short stories and a poem. They don't directly relate to one another except in the fact that they are fantasy or fantasy/horror. Time periods are not consistent nor are locations. However, each story has a strong life all its own. I enjoyed each piece of this collective on different levels. I remain spooked by each piece. A great collection.
***I received a e-ARC in exchange for a honest review***What is Phantasma? I had to google the true meaning of the word. I found the definition stating something that appears in perception only. This collection of short stories and a poem will deliver just that, second guessing your perception and frighten you. This collection of stories feature a series of authors unfamiliar to me except J.D. Horn. In the end, i have saved all of these authors to see what else they are doing. Each of the author...
This collection reminds me of science fiction magazines I read in my youth. Mostly capable, largely entertaining, the stories are a collage of my favorite fantasy and science fiction elements.The stand-outs are Akiko,The Adoption and Pitch, two of which are fantasy and one, The Adoption, the perfect example of what science fiction is supposed to be: thought-provoking and wrought with the morality of technological advancement. Akiko dabbles into the crime genre, in an enjoyable way. Pitch, the hi...
As another reviewer mentioned, this anthology was like stepping into the Twilight Zone. Within the Sci-Fi genre, there was something for everyone to enjoy— dystopia, fantasy, futuristic Sci-Fi, etc. For my tastes, I was especially drawn in by “The Adoption” and “Undercurrents.” Both are bit more in-line with what makes this genre enjoyable for me— a story setting which you feel is relatable to your life, except for the eerie feeling that something is off. Both stories provide an ending that will...
I am a huge fan of science fiction, and fantasy, and this book of short stories, and a poem, did not let me down. I was enthralled from start to finish.Each of the five short stories in Phantasma are well written and follow along with the theme of the book. The poem is beautifully written, bordering on the erotic. They are all terrifying, in their own unique ways. I thoroughly enjoyed them all.If you are a fan of science fiction/fantasy/thrillers, Phantasma is a must read book.I received a compl...
