Ratings and reviews

I love these short stories of time travel, sci-fi, fantasy alternative universes, and horror. And whatever else is in this 50 flash fiction book. Each story is unique. Some of them were awesome and others left me with a big question mark. But either way, I am glad I read them. I read them all in one day (over a slow workday). I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
