“I am not a fan of short stories; I'm a size queen who thinks a book under three hundred pages is a waste of time. I would normally list and review each story, but there are a lot of them and a few would have the same review, which could be whittled down to meh! It's not that the authors are bad; it's just that a few of them end vaguely and I have barely enough time to grasp what's going on before it's over. There are some good entries though, and for the most part I enjoyed my time spent with Dead Letters.

“Anthologies are always challenging; I typically find myself enjoying only a few of the collected stories, often even disliking or skipping others entirely. I went into this collection with that in mind, expecting to find myself underwhelmed by at least several of the stories, but looking forward to the few I would quite like. Happily, I discovered that all of the stories in this collection were enjoyable; no, I didn't love all of them, but I also can't quite say I disliked any either. While some stories seemed very loosely connected to the theme of "dead letters," they were each very unique and distinct visions of that theme. I don't think I have a favorite story, but there are a few that I think will stick with me for a while. Overall, this was a good read that I am glad I picked up.”
