The first story, Felix was Here, felt like a Stepford Wife type story with the wife having nightmares � flashbacks? � of someone named Felix after her friend bemoaned the fact that their friend was naming her baby Felix. Not sure how this is speculative fiction � moving to the suburbs? � but the story didn’t hook me. DNF.

The second story, Rianers, was fast-paced, full of action, had zombies, and a cute wolf cub! So much fun to read.

The third story, WIN, reminded me a bit of Terminator and how machines eventually ruled the planet. Awesome! And that David was seen as obsolete because he couldn’t be part of the machines and could only learn from books � brilliant! An entertaining story.

The fourth story, The Mirror People, read like a crime thriller with loads of fun twists as it’s from the murderer’s reflection’s perspective. Speculative fiction at its best.

The sixth story, Ever-Ton, is good. But it feels more dystopian � a true reflection of where we’re heading � than a parallel universe.

The seventh story, Folds in Life and Death, was pure speculative fiction. Good. And I’m guessing taking place in a parallel universe (I have no idea who the presidents of America are supposed to be or how many or how they died � and adding curses just feels like speculative fiction, not an alternate reality.)

The eighth story, The Seventeen, starts with a clear message that this was a world where no rules existed against human guinea pigs. And the story was awesome!

The ninth story, Scrying the Plane, I DNFed because I had an issue with the language. You can write a good story without taking the Lord’s name in vain.

The tenth story, Haunted, began with a woman throwing her meds at her therapist. The feeling this scene elicited didn’t sit right with me. DNF.

An interesting anthology about parallel universes. I would have liked to see more interaction between the two universes � like in Fringe.
