Feral Youth by Shaun David Hutchinson, E.C. Myers, Robin Talley, Tim Floreen, Stephanie Kuehn, Susanne Young, Marieke Nijkamp, Justina Ireland, Brandy Colbert, Alaya Dawn Johnson
5.0

When we first learned of Feral Youth, a collection of stories retold Canterbury Tales style, we couldn't wait to get our hands on it. Shaun's enthusiasm alone is enough to make you want to read it and then you see this AMAZING diverse group of authors who contributed and it's like 😍.

See what I mean? Feral Youth is more than a collection of stories. As the stories unfold, you'll see that they unveil little morsels of each character in the larger story arc and the ending is just so good. Each of these stories is wrapped within a bigger story (fascinating process, as you'll see below) and each story is so uniquely the author's that long time fans will have a treat and new fans will get a peek into that author's work. It's hard to pick a favorite because they're each so different. I really loved E.C. Myer's two-part story and am pretty sure I will never sleep again. His work is so provocative and completely terrifies me. Tim Floreen's story was so engaging that I couldn't stop my audiobook before I finished it. Suzanne Young's story was all too real.

What I am really saying is you need to read it. If you don't get completely sucked in, I'll be shocked.
