This is hands down one of the best short story collections I have read. There were remarkably few weaker stories in here. This is Grimdark Magazine's first collection and on the back of reading this I have immediately become a subscriber to the magazine. They seem to be engaging with all the top authors within this subgenre of fantasy. The quality of the stories is phenomenally high, and I have been introduced to a whole bunch of new authors to check out in more detail. I also appreciate that they have taken the idea of grimdark to include sci-fi and cyberpunk. Gives a nice variety to the stories
I look forward to reading their other collections and delving into their magazines from now on!
