I really enjoyed the variety of stories in this issue.
Another instalment of Weirdbook has made it's way into my hands. I have always liked reading anthologies because it gives you stories from different authors, it's a great way to find new authors to read. I do want to say that the artwork on the cover really grabbed me the minute I saw it. Now because there are so many stories I can't review each, so here is a selection of random stories you can find inside.ICONOCLASM is a very interesting story.

McNamee's 'Pouring Whiskey In My Soul' were good. But I found the following works to be very good and befitting the high standards of this anthology:1. David M. Hoenig's 'Nameless and Named';2. Matt Sullivan's 'The Circle';3. John Linwood Grant's 'San...
So good! I can't recommend enough for readers who love short stories!
