Review by: Moxie Mezcal on May 28, 2010 :
VSS stands for very short story, and at their best, that's exactly what these pieces are. They have all the same elements you'd expect to find in a traditional short, like conflict, plot, engaging characters, atmosphere, themes; they just accomplish it really quickly.  More than anything else, these pieces demonstrate that obstruction can spur creativity.  In this case, there's something liberating about being forced to stay under 140 characters. There's a built-in focus, you don't have to be all things to all people, you just have to make them smile, make them empathize, make them think, even if for only the briefest moment in time.

I love reading Twitter fiction, and this anthology has one outstanding benefit I was not aware until I read it - opposite to Twitter stream, where you read great stories accidentally, you have all the best of it presented the way it should be: organized.
Every author in this book has his exceptional voice and brings his unique world to the reader. Just read three stories in a row and you're there completely.
Many great worlds, one great anthology. Waiting for next volumes!
