Upon starting to read this short story, I thought the concept was brilliant. Over-population. Orbital farming. Reducing methane and therefore greenhouse gases. Genius. As a scientist this appealed to me. But just as it started to get juicy, some underhand dealings, it ended. If this were a first chapter, I would be loving this book. But as it is a short story, it felt unfinished and left me disappointed.

A short book that simplifies grand ideas of philosophy and religion into a good story. Definitely worth the read.

The gods Lie is a one-shot manga. It's sweet, funny, sad, heartbreaking, and hopeful, all in one short story.

"This magnificently strange, moving and hysterical debut collection of short stories was, full disclosure, written by my WIFE! But I wouldn’t recommend so highly if I didn’t think it one of the very best short story collections."

Book Rating
The second short story bundled with Kevin Hearne's 'Hounded' in which Atticus O'Sullivan and his dog Oberon encounter some witches up to no good (of course) while on a short vacation.

Compared to the previous short story, this shows more the nature of Atticus connection to the land (he's a 2000+ year old Druid, remember), especially with the forest setting. It also takes the saying "nature, red in tooth and claw" quite literally!
