The Dragon's Rocketship Presents: Hex Support

I just read an entertaining collection of short stories of fantasy or science fiction. Each story was interesting in different ways. The stories are in alphabetical order in both the ebook and the paperback. Being a Vampire Sucks by Christina Lo Bianco is a funny approach that is spot on for the topic of Hex Support. Body Hacks by Sue Sherman is a humorous story with an interesting twist. Flying in the Face by Rose Jones has many science fiction aspects, with young people and intercultural interactions.

Bug Report by Nikki Yager has a strong undercover surprise. For the Love of Jim Blob by Jen Ponce is a story with great humor. It has a great character, and I identified with Tansy, and enjoyed the change and progression in the story. Friday the 13th by Rick Rossing has a fun noir flavor. Hextreme Measures by Gary S Watkins reminds us we always need to double check the ingredients of spells and summonings. Intercontinental Charm Manufacturing by Martin Coyne has great humor in its story. It does not start out funny, but turns funny, then turns dark. Great it could carry different tones during the course of the story. Mighty Brew by Jolie Byrne asks some serious questions, like what do you do when you have the choice of right or wrong. M.E.R.L.I.N. by Chad Dennis tells us it is important to know who your support person is. It makes a difference! Panic Room by Lloyd Vancil features a hard bitten detective who investigates an impossible crime. Pratima's Engines by S. A. Gibson has an undercover investigator, looking for a crime of technology (I am biased; I wrote this). Simple Fix by Denise Drespling is a very entertaining story of hex support, when it gets personal. An entire family has to get involved to solve a serious magic problem. Spell Check by Ian Richardson asks who is going to protect the earth from evil creatures from another dimension. Surely not young girls! Spell Search by Kristy Carey warns us that sometimes working the spells support line can be dangerous. Be careful. Your Cauldron is Important To Us by Elena Galloway is a cautionary tale about the dangers of making sure we are using the right cauldron for the right spell.

I recommend this collections. Give it a try!
