A collection of 16 sci-fi and fantasy stories edited by number one New York Times best-selling author Laurell K. Hamilton and author William McCaskey.

A child’s wish for her father comes true. The end of the world has never been so much fun. Conquering personal demons becomes all too real. It’s not always about winning; sometimes it’s about showing up for the fight. It’s about loving your life’s work, and jobs that make you question everything.

In this anthology, 17 authors have woven together brand-new stories that speak to the darkness and despair that life brings while reminding us that good deeds, humor, love, sacrifice, dedication, and following our joy can ignite a light that burns so bright the darkness cannot last.

Laurell K. Hamilton and William McCaskey are joined by Kevin J. Anderson, Griffin Barber, Patricia Briggs, Larry Correia, Kacey Ezell, Monalisa Foster, Robert E. Hampson, John G. Hartness, Jonathan Maberry, L. E. Modesitt, Jr., Jessica Schlenker, Sharon Shinn, M. C. Sumner, Patrick M. Tracy, and Michael Z. Williamson in this collection.

As with any anthology, some stories I liked more than others, but all were interesting. Each story comes from a viewpoint that is not what one usually sees. The theme of strong optimism in unusual circumstances is strong in each story.
The performance of the narrators is top notch.

Good anthology

Oh, yum! I loved every single story. Ronan surprised me and made me cry. It slipped under my guard and got me on a personal level.

Excellent stories and performances. I love the short story form and completely enjoyed the humor, hope and kindness in what could have been standard monster stories. If this becomes an ongoing anthology (please, please), I'll buy it.

Enjoyed the hope and kindness in the stories

This is not your typical audiobook but it delivers much more than a singular story or experience. Great writing and audio performances. I highly recommend for a change of pace!

I only bought this book to read one story, from my favorite author Patricia Briggs. I knew that the other stories would be a ok bonus! But the fact that almost all of the stories were worth what I paid for only one was more than a bonus. ❤️

Got my fix!

I absolutely adored every story. They were all new to me except the Anita Blake story, but each was unique, complete and entertaining. I'd say this is the best thing ti come out of this time frame.

some very good authors but a couple stories were only so-so. One was kind of preachy. Hamilton was great as always.

a nice collection of fantasy/sci fi short stories
