Stories on the Go: 101 Very Short Stories by 101 Authors (free for now) Kindle
Quote:
This anthology aims to be a showcase of recent indie writing.

Hugh Howey launched the idea on Kboards, a forum for Kindle readers, but also the meeting place of an active community of indie writers.

The result is this anthology of 101 very short stories by 101 authors.

To make it more attractive for you, the reader, we set ourselves a limit of a thousand words. You should be able to read each story in under five minutes — on your desktop computer, laptop, or tablet at home or in the office, but also on your smartphone, on the go, while you are commuting or waiting at a coffee shop for your significant other to arrive.

We included as many genres as we could. We hope that maybe, with only five minutes of your time on the line that would otherwise be wasted anyway, you'll be tempted to venture outside your comfort zone and try out some new genres and new authors.
Amazon US Usually it's .99 for a copy so a good bargain either way.

You're welcome Dr.Drib. I agree such anthologies are a lot of fun. And if you don't have a lot of time to read during the day you can still read a complete story in no time. The normal cost of .99 for 101 stories is also a great bargain as well.

...so just got around to cracking this open (figuratively speaking, wouldn't want to damage my screen) and I jumped right to one of my favorite genres among those listed: science fiction/cyperpunk. The one story in that genre: “Workplace Hazards" by Allan Körbes.

Please, someone explain to me how that story qualifies as sf at all, much less cyberpunk.

There is one throw-away, unnecessary passage where the word "computer" is mentioned, and it might as well have said "telephone" for all it mattered to the story, and that's it.

That, so far, has put me off the rest of the book.

Hurmph.

Andy,
Keep reading.
Go read Lisa Grace. I know hers is good and Cherise Kelly.

The author you mentioned is one I don't know.

This is a great collection, by the way.

I HIGHLY recommend this!

Well, I for one, like your 'Hrmphs'.

After a few more reads - and if you still don't like the collection - then it probably isn't for you, which would be an honest assessment on your part.

But at least you will have given it more than one shot.

Since this thread is active again I'll mention that the regular digital price still shows as $0.99, but the download is currently free -- I don't know if that's "still free" or "free again."

If anyone ever finds it NOT free, let me know immediately. With the link if possible. I will notify the publisher.

I remember the heck they had getting it to free.
So yes, it should be a permafree.

I thought I'd gotten it free. (I delete all free ebook emails, but I do keep all ebook emails where I've had to pay something.)
